Wayward Son by Tom Pollack, Jim Alves, John Loftus

2.0

This book is split between present and past, with a large part focused on the past. It would have been a much better book (tighter story, fewer distractions) if it had just focused on the past and left out the whole bit about the modern protagonist. As it stands, the main emphasis of the story is on the modern character, even though the bulk of the writing concerns the characters in the past. This sort of split detracts from the interesting parts of the story (mostly a travelogue) without adding much.

Also, the ending was a transparent stretch towards the sequel.
