Lots of stuff happened but nothing actually happened. And the final encounter with the aliens was shoehorned in and didn’t matter one whit. The natural disaster had no bearing on the book. The immigration section had no bearing on the later portion of the book. So, after having finished the book, I’m hard pressed to tell you what it was actually about because none of the plots mattered. But just kidding, because nothing is revealed about the mysterious alien race in their completely forgettable and awkward scenes. At the end, the book thinks it’s going to be about the big, mysterious alien race and object.
But then it’s about killer slugs and orbital decay?.neither of which was interesting. Halfway in and the book thinks it’s going to be about natural disasters. Twenty pages in and the book thinks it’s going to be about immigration, evil corporations and land rights. In other words, it was a bad book.įirst of all, the book can’t figure out it’s own plot. This book was the clunker to end all clunkers.
