A review by wynnz
Odyssey One by Evan Currie
1.0
"I think it would have been a better book if it were shorter, by say... 300 pages. At nearly 600 pages, it was too long. It was a very laborious and tedious read. John H. Arnold once said, 'War is sometimes described as long periods of boredom punctuated by short moments of excitement.' This quote perfectly describes this book!
The narrative focuses heavily on naval and militaristic procedures, with many explanations for said procedures, and just about everything else as well. If naval and tech speak is your thing, then this book will float your boat (pun intended). Unfortunately, there is nothing new to see here. It's an average, generic, bread-and-butter military science fiction, and a bit fantastical at times.
Overall, it is underwhelming and arduous."
