Reviews with the most likes.
A book that seemed to promise big ideas, left me completely cold and a little bored.
If one is dealing with the creation and destruction of civilisations, does one really need to know that two characters ordered meatballs in a restaurant?
Oh, tip for all budding civilisation builders - avoid right-angles! (Perhaps the meatballs were a clue?)
Xenoarcheologie, hoezee. Het doet wat denken aan Ringworld en aan Rama (toen dat nog goed was) en aan veel andere dingen, en McDevitt wordt beter in zijn volgende boeken, maar toch: leutig.
Een betere editor toegewenst wel: het kon in zeker honderd pagina's minderd.
