What people often refer to as pulp and cheesy science fiction tends to be along the lines of Flash Gordon, Starship Troopers, Star Trek or anything airing on Syfy. That is only because most don't even know about the existence of pulp as bland, nonsensical and purely indulgent as this. A collage of ideas, either borrowed from other more famous authors or the kind of ideas that a good editor should have warned the writers about (oh yes, this book has more than one author!). Unfunny humor, action with no tension, characters with no depth and a plot that goes basically nowhere. What else can I say? Go into the plot details? Even a summary of them would still be a waste of your time. There's a lot of great science fiction out there, a lot of which I've read and even more of which I plan to read. In retrospective, I should have gone and read some of those great sci-fi classics instead of trying my luck with this. I suggest you do what I didn't and stay away from this mess of a book.
