Follow the Dead by Lin Anderson
2.0
Tedious.
The first 30% of the book were interesting, but after that the narrative jumped all over the place leaving this reader dazed and confused. This was my first Lin Anderson book and it will be my last for the following reasons
1. Unlikable main characters, tortuous plot with too many illogical jumps.
2. Unexplained loose ends. What did the dead raptors have to do with the plot?
3. Over 90 short chapters, each one ending halfway down a page. This leaves half a page of white space. This is becoming a favourite way for some authors to increase page count without increasing word count. Do the maths, 90 x 0.5 = 45 pages devoted to white space!
Not impressed.
