Review: Long story that dragged in the end.
Rating: 3 out of 5

Let's see.  This story is long, repeats several scenes multiple times, lacks a real sense of danger or action and doesn't seem to build the characters up.I can give it three stars because it did induce a couple of long nights where I'd stay up longer than normal to read just a few more pages, but overall, this story doesn't really hold the reader.  I actually found the plot running out of steam before I reached the ending.  The fact that the hero started with so much technology and that the main part of this tale wasn't so much rebuilding as transferring knowledge from the hero's large support team to the inhabitants of a castle made the tale rather uninspiring.And that was before scenes started to repeat.  It was as if Chris lost track of what had happened and resorted to repeating scenes to try to emphasize the perils he had built up in his mind.  In my opinion it weakened the story and dragged out the plot.It's a good premise, but this time didn't hold up due to the length of the story.
