Glynn Stewart is one of those authors who somehow manages to crank out multiple books per year while remaining interesting and entertaining. They’re never best-sellers, but they’re diverting. They’re certainly not perfect, but they’re rarely bad enough that I stop reading.

He’s written multiple SF series. I read 8 or 10 of the Starship’s Mage series before losing interest, but that was okay because there was the Duchy of Terra series to start reading. I eventually stopped reading that one, but then there was Castle Federation.

Kind of a short SF horror piece.

This was just. so. slow.

Excruciating.

Sadly, I have not been able to get through anything by Stephenson since Cryptonomicon. From the System of the World on, he just got so long-winded and the plots dragged so much.

Military SF, wasn’t bad until they started killing innocents left and right to achieve their goals.

No.
