That is largely a fault of my own since I came into it with expectations, which is never a good idea The story is well told, with interesting situations, characters, and a clever plot The problem I have with the story is that half of the novel is pure setup for the second half The first half has almost no Bishop or Skippy which is the most entertaining part of this series which really ruined the

is going Being a huge sci fi fan since reading Heinlins Number Of The Beast when i was probably much too young to have read it This series is one of the most addictive and I have been completely in to
