Query: Boring

On my bookshelves I have 11 hardcover books by Joel Rosenberg plus several paperbacks. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Rosenberg has few equals when it comes to action and adventure mixed with humor and an assortment of interesting and likable characters. That is why Paladins is such a huge disappointment. The book is totally devoid of humor. There is some action, but the scenes are interspersed with numerous pages of dullness. The characters must set a record for pomposity. Few of them are interesting or likable. The word that comes to mind that most describes this book is BORING. The book jacket says this is the beginning of a new series. I sincerely hope not. Mr. Rosenberg, as a favor to your loyal readers, go back to what you do so well, and give up on this abomination.
