A review by pjonsson
Orphan's Destiny by Robert Buettner
2.0
The first book was very promising. I would really have liked to give this one three stars as well but the first half of this book was just no good.
Humanity have just, barely, defeated an alien invasion and then they go off and drop military spending, starts to mothball the defence installations, no further defence developments and generally behave like all danger is gone?
I know politicians are short sighted and dumb and nowadays they get dumber by the minute it seems but I do not want to read about that in a sci-fi book. Since half of the book is all about politics and this kind of BS it only get's a two star from me...and that's just barely.
If the first half of the book would have been on the same level as the last half then it would have been in for a three star...or more.
