Query: A truly terrible book

Do not bother with this book -- it will be a waste of your time. If you like books with incredibly complex (and oftimes incomprehensible) milieus, try Iain M. Banks. If you like a touch of humor mized with action, try Charles Stross. If you like the in-depth human factor, try L.E. Modesitt. If you like a good, thought-provoking read, try David Brin. My book collection stands at about 1,000 and this Vinge was one of the worst. Full disclosure -- I could only get through Part One (about 170 pages); the last few pages of that section were so disappointing and illogically contrived that I simply could not go on and finish the remaining 600 pages. I gave it one star because the concept was fascinating, but the execution was awful.
