Review: No good characters, unfocused plot

This was just a slog to read.  The premise is interesting, but William seemed to want to slaughter his characters.  Multiple disasters occur which keep depleting the pool of available characters.  This wiped out any development of relationships and characters and disengaged me from the story.Worse, the story seemed to jump from plot idea to plot idea without really resolving any of them.When you add in a few puzzling scientific and manufacturing setups which seemed to push the plot without really expanding it and I was left with a story that did not impress me.  I do not recommend this to anyone.
