Review: Would possibly read more if the language improved...

I did enjoy this book.  The reason why I couldn't give it 5 stars was because of the language (f-bomb) which I felt was just too convenient for the author to throw in - remember that this is supposed to be about alien cultures crossing from world to world, etc., and really, the f-bomb there?  Why couldn't the author invent a new word for these people?  Also, at times it was too wordy and I found myself skipping ahead a few pages (gasp!).  Also, I didn't like the ending but suppose it had to be written that way to pave the way for a sequel.Wish I could have given it 5 stars but the language was a big stopper for me... I've read too many books in which the authors have been able to convey feelings and sentiments without resorting to bad language.Will probably not get any sequel to this story (if there is one) which is too bad because I really did like Blackwell.
