Flummoxed
Sep 21, 2005
I came out of The Quiet War with the odd feeling that i'd enjoyed it, but that perhaps not to the extent that it had been worth the effort it took to read it. The political wrangling was interesting and represented the greatest strength of the book, but it was light on action, the tech was surprisingly unengaging, and the Outers difficult to sympathise with (which left a bit of a 'so what?' taste to the whole affair).

I also read the follow-up, Gardens of the Sun, which is even more of a mess storywise and definitely not recommended if you're on the fence after the first book.
