A review by kagarner
Empire by Orson Scott Card

2.0

Reading this book was like watching several episodes of the TV show 24 all in one sitting. Everything in the story is moving along and then BAM something crazy happens and you almost have to go back and re-read to make sure you didn't miss something. Didn't really care for all the anti-leftist political whining that comes through in the book. Although I think what Card was really trying to get at is that it isn't always the RIGHT-wing nut jobs that are trying to undermine the system it was painted on too thick for my taste. Not the best work from one of my still-favorite authors.
