Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Intriguing premise, but weak storytelling
Review: While I read and enjoyed Dunn's "Days of Cain," this book shares a weakness of that novel, although it is more prevalent here.

The ideas in "Full Tide.." are interesting, and the concept original, but the characters seem little more than mouthpieces for various political and idealogical points of view, and the plot moves at a sluggish pace.

While I'm not advocating a book full of bone-crunching action, I did want a novel where I cared about the people in the story, and what happened to them.

In "Days of Cain" I felt the emotion of the situation. Here, I didn't feel I got inside the characters heads or feelings enough.

Not recommended.
