![]() I was pulling for spider characters more than the human side characters. Where’s the fun in a book describing aliens that resemble humans? If you’re going to have aliens, don’t make them Star Trek aliens. Non-traditional in approach, it depicts alien life entirely different from our current society. Yet, I’m drawn to magnificent space operas, and this is certainly one. Commercially successful S-f epics are not polished to the level of the usual hoity-toity stuff I read. I only need to be shown palp-flopping sign language a dozen times to get the point. A few too many speech patterns described. ![]() This one is sprinkled with a sloppy dialogue tag and unnecessary gesticulations clutter the dialogue every once in a while. The longer a book is, the more I begin to dissect the sentences, which too often contain extraneous syntax. I’m extremely picky when it comes to science fiction. ![]()
