review 1: just beginning, on page 21finished...If you’re looking for Pip and Flinx: spoiler alert – they’re not here…four scientists are set to deliver at one destination and end up at another where there is no stability whatsoever. Best line: “As a general rule scientists did not suffer from nudity phobias.” Hmmm, should have said another spoiler, there are naked scientists folks, and if you take offense, don’t read! ;)
review 2: I don't know why I'm still reading this. There's only about 60 pages left in the story and every time I pick it up or put it down, I can't help but think how much I don't like it. It's the first novel by Alan Dean Foster that I've read, and I'll not go hunting down any of his other works. While he can envision a good story, the ac... moretual writing is both boring and unrealistic. Which is saying something for a sci-fi book. The dialogue sounds like either a bunch of robots or, more likely, a bunch of authors. It's overly verbose and ridiculous to think any sort of people, human or otherwise, would speak like that. The characters do not have the thought processes of scientists, leading them to odd conclusions when trying to solve any sort of problem, and Foster's descriptions are repetitive to the point of redundancy. At the very least the story is interesting, which is what will keep me hanging on to the end. It certainly could have been much, much better.**I've given up finishing this book. less
