Homeworld by Eric S. Brown

1.0

If this book is in need of anything, it is an editor. Any editor. Seriously, anyone. It feels like the writers published it without a single revision, without even rereading it once. On top of that, their grammar isn't very good, their prose is usually hamhanded, and their characters are both cardboard and poorly developed. I'm going to mention the editor thing again. Because it was bad. This isn't a reflection on the story, necessarily, but if writers care about their work I feel like they should make an effort to make sure that the prose is at least clean before publishing. I feel ripped off, and I got this book as a rental using Amazon Prime so I didn't actually spend a single penny. The writers misspelled 'champagne', misused their/there, had no clue how to use commas, and routinely used apostrophes incorrectly. What I will say about the book is that the story is largely okay, and the action scenes, the science, and the aliens are pretty good. It would have been better as an explosion-filled summer movie than as a book.
