admiral5500 's review for:

Martyr by B.K. Evenson
2.0

This book started like a cross between 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Abyss, and Solaris. This was both good and bad as I really like that kind of story but yet it seemed to not be original. I did like some of the buildup and discussions about religion. By the end, though, it degraded into just a battle against monsters. Some issues were resolved, but there was just too much that did not make sense to me. So there was enough to keep me interested most of the way, but to me it never realized its potential.
