The Gap Into Madness: Chaos and Order

Most of this book is filled with tedious political maneuvering and melodrama. Toward the end of this volume we finally get some action, but I found the repetitious writing style to be distracting from the story line. The author apparently discovered cut-and-paste because we're repeatedly given a scene and dialogue, and then we go back in time to read it from another character's point of view - or we're subjected to reading it again as a character remembers it for us.
