2.0
If only that had focused more on the sociological aspects, then the slowness would've at least been interesting. But this way it felt more like a bad TOS book (I mean, the Captain takes the first woman to bed that he sees? Not very Picard of him.)
We still have no answer, why a human theater group would want a planet as home base that's not inside Federation space, why they didn't do any scans before settling, and what the heck the motif of the books villain was, except random "I want power" thoughts.
Yeah, no huge -isms, but that's the only good thing to be said about this novel.
