While I enjoyed FirstFlight very much, this book was a weak follow-up to it. There just wasn’t enough going on. The mystery wasn’t terribly mysterious, and an overall lack of action means I’m putting these books up on BookMooch because I won’t ever be re-reading them. By all means, read FirstFlight, but skip this slow sequel because it won’t tell you any more of that story.

Perhaps the most annoying part of this book was the fact that Claremont uses the adjective brobdingnagian…twice. Once, I can see, but don’t overuse such obscure words. And no, I didn’t have to look it up to know what it meant. ( )
