Book Reviews of Time Travelers Never Die
Book Review: A Disappointing Effort!
Summary: 2 Stars
In my mind Jack McDevitt seems to be the logical successor to Isaac Asimov; his books have consistently captivated my imagination with exciting plots and interesting characters. In spite of this book I still have high hopes for his future novels!
This book has neither an exciting plot nor interesting characters; I was surprised and disappointed but I stuck it out and finished the book. It's almost as if he didn't really know what to do with his storyline and tried experimenting with several alternatives, none of which worked successfully; some sections were particularly painful and preachy.
McDevitt has written many really good science fiction novels all of which I have enjoyed, most of them many times. This one was really off on a tangent and did not ever really come together for me. I kept hoping the next chapter would display the writer I respect so highly, but it never came.
I would not be sorry if he put this series behind him and got back to what he does best. Do not buy this book expecting classic Jack McDevitt; it represents a departure from his usual style and fails as an experiment.
