A review by spitzig
Manifold: Time by Stephen Baxter

1.0

Crap. It was like an old school 1950's SF novel, and not in a good way. The book was mostly populated by engineers explaining things to each other. Also, it ranted about the bureaucracy of NASA(and the US govt.) as much as any Heinlein novel. The characters were not interesting. The plot was crap. Too much of the "plot" was really just talking about science, so not enough HAPPENED in the book.
