The Coming by Joe Haldeman

2.0

I love a good first contact story, and I love a good Haldeman tome, but this was neither. Instead, we get a snapshot of the world in 2054 with the characters that are somewhat involved with the situation that bookends the story, putting the contact and sci-fi elements on the back burner to cover a secondary story that's incredibly difficult to care about on a whole. Disappointing.
