Query: Wooden style, Not even close to Schmitz

As a long time Scmitz fan I can sympathize with another writer attempting to follow in his footsteps. But even taking into account different writing styles I found this sequel to Witches of Karres to be a clumsy attempt to cash in on Schmitz's work.Going negative is boring and who wants to read nasty rants? I will just say that following on another re-read of much of Schmitz's previous works (put out nicely by Baen) it was like cold water to the face with this book. Sadly, it was a real let down regarding, writing style - clumsy, fidelity to characters - hardly and overall pleasure in reading - none.This book show that James H. Schmitz was a true talant.
