I found this to be a pleasant read. It is not great literature by any means, but an interesting story reasonably well told. I probably would have loved it when I was a scifi initiate, some 50+ years ago, but I liked it now well enough to give it a clear recommendation. It was fun, overall. It isn't a 5-star, but few books are. Indeed, I am beginning to be suspicious of all the 5-star reviews I find on Amazon. Most of them just ain't THAT good. It doesn't mean they are not worth reading. A legitimate 3-star is worth reading, if the topic is of interest.Moreover, I am getting tired of so many of the poor reviews whining about editing, spelling, syntax, and such. I too dislike whose when it should be who's; to when it should be too; it's when it should be its, etc., but my brain is facile enough to blow by it with the understanding of what is meant. Only occasionally does it bring me to a halt for a re-read. I am not a prof of English Lit, nor am I an high school English teacher. Just read the bloody book, folks, and spare me the drawn out critique on its construction. It's fine to comment on the editing quality, but not ad nausium.I vote for honest, non-whiney reviews so they really mean something to someone who is considering the book!As for this book and its companions, I am glad that I read them and can state that they were worth the read.
