A review by pjonsson
The Myriad by R.M. Meluch
2.0
I do not understand why this book gets so many 4 and 5 star reviews.
The ending, which I know doesn't appeal to some people, do not disturb me that much but...
The author really has little understanding of science which makes the fictional science less believable. For instance openable gunports and manually loaded guns on, what is supposed to be, a futuristic space battleship. Come on!
She has absolutely zero military knowledge which makes the military action just plain dumb. To add to the latter she makes the military personnel unbelievably stupid.
The LEN are, unbelievable as it is, even more stupid than the military which is just a nuisance. A nice depiction of todays useless UN carried into the future though!
The read is not a total disaster which is why it gets 2 stars instead of 1 and I will try to get through the rest of the trilogy (update: I first thought this was a trilogy but now I realize there's at least one more book in the series) just since I want to complete things but my hopes for this trilogy are not that high any more.
