Review: a disappointment

After some pretty solid writing in the first two books, especially the first, the writer seems to make some amateur mistakes that really are not acceptable.  For example, in the first two books the ship drive paradigm is wormhole drive with no time dilation.  In the third book, out of no where, there is suddenly time dilation but no change in drive technology and no explanation whatsoever.  The story barely requires it so I really don't understand how the author could make such a big mistake.  All three books carry a 2010 copyright, suggesting they were all written in 2010, so its hard to understand how the author cold have forgotten that his characters do not face time dilation with their wormhole drive.  However, far more disappointing is the lack of a satisfying climax.  The book is all buildup and it had so much potential, there were so many ways he could have gone with it, and then at the end a wimper.  I can't recommend this book, and since the 2nd one realy relies on this one for its resolution, I can't recommend that one either.  Read the first one and stop there.
