Summary: Deitz left his build up for a lame charade of the last chaps
Review: This was a good sci fic story. His build up leads everyone to believe some great multi-character scandal that will leads to some great multi-scandal ending. He fails horribly! And I mean HORRIBLY! This guy couldn't see a proper ending if it fell on him and kissed his .... Either he got too lazy to write or he didn't stick to his creative guns to make it right. Both consequences, are consequences to himself and his readership. I will not buy one of his books again!!! He has no finishing power.Bob Manni

Summary: Lots of racism, no wrap-up at end
Review: While searching for a new author, I happend to read the first few pages of this book and it sounded interesting. Dietz starts out with a bang, but it degenerates quickly. The racist characters were so vile and repulsive, but there was no depth to them execpt that they were racist. Evntually, they became little more than an annoyance and contributed little to the story. It is like Dietz tried to include a "racewar," but since he never pulls it off, the few threads that are left are tattered and tired. The most disappointing thing about the book (and the reason why it gets only one star) is that it is a total cliffhanger--but it doesn't even end on a point of tension. Another problems is that he sets up a three-way love triangle, then kills off the lynchpin before anything happens. Why bother? I will not buy the conclusion; if I run out of stuff to read and get really bored, then I'll rent the next one from the library. I may even have to read the end first to make sure it is not another sorry excuse to sell a THIRD book. Honestly, if Dietz can't finish a simple invasion story in two books, then I will avoid anything else he has or will write. As it is, he's left a pretty sour taste in my mouth with this tripe.
