A review by brainstrain91
The Machine Crusade by Brian Herbert
Did not finish book.
Relentlessly insipid. The shambling horror of its plot is bound together only by the staggering stupidity of every single one of its characters. Immersion is impossible; suspension of disbelief wholly undeserved. I confess, this is the first book in a long while to defeat me. I did not finish it.
I try to keep my nostalgia glasses from becoming too rose-tinted: the Dune sequels penned by Herbert himself had many problems. But these novels are simply abysmal. The first editor to see them should have set them alight. I'm fond of Tor, but these books represent a cash-in of the ugliest sort. Move right along, lover of sci-fi: you'll find only frustration and disappointment here.
