I haven't read Bova before this in spite of forty years of reading SF, so I can't say if this is typical of his work. My suspicion, since this was published after his death, is that his heirs threw a rough draft at the publisher who went ahead and published it. The characters have the depth of people in a detergent commercial and the plot is bland at best. I wanted to like this book and I really tried to finish it but one night I just threw it aside in disgust
