Genre: Science fiction.
Uninteresting characters, no real plot line whatsoever is how I would characterise this book. This book feels like it is a preview for the next book. There is very little story progression here and a bunch of mysteries are set up and none are resolved.
I never grew to like the characters mainly because everyone felt one dimensional. The characters motivation for doing good or bad are not explored. Anne McCaffrey's writing style itself is pretty good but that is the only redeeming point about this book.
Rating: 2/5, Below average, only reason to get this one is if you are a huge Anne McCaffrey fan.
The Amazon link is to this book and the sequel for this book. I have not read the sequel.
The later additions to this series are good (Sassinak, The Death of Sleep, and Generation Warriors), but yes the two Dino books are surprisingly uninteresting.
