Comments on: Mission Of Honor – Snippet 60 http://www.ericflint.net/index.php/2010/06/30/mission-of-honor-snippet-60/ News announcements and snippets by Eric Flint Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:37:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Donald Urquhart http://www.ericflint.net/index.php/2010/06/30/mission-of-honor-snippet-60/comment-page-1/#comment-204942 Donald Urquhart Fri, 02 Jul 2010 23:26:41 +0000 http://www.ericflint.net/?p=2507#comment-204942 I'm sorry, but this snippet just was not enough to grab me. None of the characters were characterized enough to become people in my mind. People seem to be being stupid for no real apparent reason, and the technical and logistics setups are a touch on the complex side. I understand that this is a hard SF book, but even so, I would expect a bit more readability. I got lost in what information was coming from where and who exactly was involved in the missile think tank. If I read the other comments correctly, it's also already in publication, so my armchair editing may be rather pointless. Still, I think that the book is in desperate need of a good line editing.

Without the spadework people will complain that background information was missing. He’s laying the groundwork for the next books, lots of booms will be seen in them I’m sure.

Once the BOOM is heard it's all downhill the rest of the book. If you want to see the difference, go back and reread In Death Ground and The Shiva Option again. Lots of BOOMs in those.

Or to quote Patton, “If everybody's thinking alike, somebody isn't thinking.” Short term NIH and Group Think are probably gonna be bigger disadvantages to the SLN 'Battle Fleet' than the tech gulf. Though based on all the posts about people getting their books ISTM that the snippets are gonna run out before we get to the BOOM.
