The Shoal Sequence

review 1: Terrible. Slightly better-written than some complete drivel, but the structure makes down for it. The author's attempts at foreshadowing involved completely giving away all the big reveals within the first few chapters. I kept reading out of hope for something more, but all the goods were already on the table. Mix in flat characters, cliche "grit," and laughable writing, and you get something completely regretable.
review 2: Fans of Jack McDevitt would probably like this book. McDevitt writes cerebral sci-fi (more suspenseful, thought-provoking, and scientific-minded than the regular action-packed sci-fi) and if you are of this audience, you would definitely like this book. I state this because I think the only bad reviews are by those looking for the alw... moreays enjoyable action-packed sci-fi... and there's nothing wrong with these people or their reviews - I'm a fan of those books too. I plan on reading the whole series now, but as of this moment, I only read this particular book and I give it a resounding 5-stars. less
