Query: Great story - lousy ending

Kim Newman should be shot for doing the same thing in this novel that he did in its 2 predecessors - give it a lame ending. The fact that I still gave it a 4 star rating, and read the book after seeing what the author did to the 2 prior books in the series gives you an idea how much I like his stories.The problem is that Kim Newman can't write a decent ending to save his life. The 3 books I've read in this series are all the same - great story, interesting characters, fascinating alternate history. Then, for the last 50 or so pages, the story sputters and peters out in a bit of introspective hogwash. Newman is like a pilot who can take off and do incredible aerobatics, but just can't land the damn plane.
