Review: This book was less then the sum of its parts.

Re-write "the Outside Context Problem", throw in a little "Storming Heaven" and finish off with a dash of "a Learning Experience".  If you do all this and then water it down, you end up with "the Trojan Horse".I like Nuttall and if you can't tell; I have read a number of his books.  The "Outside Context Problem" could probably use a re-write but the story was sound and the characters were interesting if not completely developed.  While Sun Tzu might be proud of the alien's tactics; the characters fell flat, the story seemed unfocussed and the whole thing felt rushed at the end.Maybe I am grading to the curve, because I so greatly enjoy so much of Nuttall's works.  This book was less then the sum of its parts.
