Query: not enough meat for a book

There is enough material in this book for a short story and it would have been better in that genre. In the first one hundred pages practically nothing happens that could not be summarized in five, and the author's lack of imagination for description is stunning. He is absolutely unable to show, he can only tell us what we are supposed to be thinking.After our cardboard cutout main characters visit the future the pace picks up, testifying to a greater talent for plot than for characterization or setting. Unfortunately, towards the end of the book the author lets us down in that area as well - we find out nothing about Taylor's past or about the true nature of the enemy.This was my first experience with Mr. Green's work and I suspect it will be the last one.
