Robert Burns (7)

Gave up on page 59 - just too puerile. Full of naked young women; a middle-aged Marty-Stu who fantasises about sex a lot and has a grudge against people who have degrees; way too many dangers - zombies, asteroid impact, explosion on a spaceship, genetic decline of the moon colony, blah blah blah. No plausible story, no characterisation. Poor

This is the first published novel of one of my closest friends. Science Fiction is normally not my choice of genres, but Robert makes it easy for the unscientific mind to become absorbed in the character's dilemmas as they face dangerous situations.
