For the most part, I was bored or annoyed with the characters, the story, and the writing style. I like Conway “Spud “ Costigan and dislike all the others. I missed the neat scientific ideas from the earlier book and found the magical nonsense mind science for the lens to be a dissapointment.

For some reason the 80's style of EXTREME was just tiring this time around, unlike last time when it reached Flash Gordon heights of silliness. I will continue the series, but only for the historical perspective.
