Query: It's a sequel

I enjoy the work of these two authors, both individually and as a team. But as a follow-up to The Mote in God's Eye this was slightly disappointing. It was that typical sequel which is a bit less exciting than the first book. My expectations were probably too high but in any event they were not completely met.None of this is to say the novel was bad. The characters were well-developed, the created universe was interesting and the Moties were a smart creation by men who know their job and do it well. However, the book had sequelitis and that can't really be overcome.By all means read the book. It is fun and interesting. Just don't expect another The Mote in God's Eye.
