Summary: Parafaith War- Interesting Ideas, Slow Book
Review: While many of the concepts in 'The Parafaith War' are interesting: Quazi-Mormon religious fanatics, brain implants controlling 'modern' warfare, time delayed space travel, reverse racial discrimination, etc... the story is just too long with too many jumps of logic that it will put an end to any possible 'suspension of disbelief.' Besides that, it's just plain slow. Throughout an interstellar war the protagonist shifts through so many jobs that the reader can barely keep up. He's an infantry man, no, he's a pilot, no, he's a secret agent, no, he's a false prophet. While the ending did have a few nice surprises I fear most readers will have put the book down long before then, I almost did. Also, Mormon's and a few other religions might be a little offended at the parellels between their church and 'Parafaith's' antagonists.
