Review: Rife with technical innacuracies and inconsistancies... but thouroughly enjoyable.

Nitpicking a scifi novel for being technically inaccurate can be an exercise in idiocy at times; it's all unrealistic fantasy. This book is not nearly as bad as some I've read so it didn't detract from the readability of it. My main complaint is that significant events were glossed over or skipped altogether, the shuttle launch to the moon should have, in my opinion, been covered in detail. It was skipped entirely and made the book somewhat disjointed as the reader is taken from training to closing onto an alien spacecraft in the space of three paragraphs. There were some other inconsistencies, but nothing too major or worth noting. Overall this was a very enjoyable book and I'll definitely be reading the follow up.
