Review: Too slow

This book started out with a lot of promise for me. The two swabs (sailors) who form the advance team for Navy aircraft to be taken aboard an actual alien spacecraft. Trouble is the story poked along until I was absolutely sure that nothing, story wise, was going to occur. Fortunately, and about halfway through the book, things finally do start to happen. Unfortunately, it was not interesting enough to hold my attention so I gave up on the book at the 60% mark. Like some of the other e-space books I have read, this seems more suited for a teenager, someone who doesn't mind the endless chores, the numerous trips to the mess hall and superiors who act like permanently cranky parents. If this book had been edited to about half its length, I think it would have been a much better read.
