A review by ajlewis2
Death Wave by Ben Bova

3.0

The story includes a woman who is from another star system and is human created by a race of machines from genetic material from Earth. Within her brain is the ability to communicate at faster than light speed. I found this aspect of the story intriguing along with communication in general in this future setting of our solar system. I did not find the writing very good. The author is a big name in Sci Fi and has written a lot, so I was let down that the writing quality seemed to be that of a rather inexperienced author. There was not much depth to the story or characters in my estimation.

Still, I am interested enough in the story that came before this one to read Bova's Star Quest and possibly the second book in this trilogy as well. I did enjoy the book; I just didn't think it was more than average.
