Death Wave by Ben Bova

3.0

The book caught my attention enough to suck me in a little at the beginning. Managed to finish it...The writing itself is good. But I did have a few complaints by the end. The plot was too simplistic (save civilization from the death wave), there were no real side plots or stories. I found the author's behind-the-times mentality to shine through every now and then with his depiction of future science and male female relationships. Smalls details throughout such as 'global warming' instead of 'global change', a main female character being submissive instead of the (assumed) peaceful/enlightened character and so on made me disconnect from the story.
