A review by bildger
The Course of Empire by Eric Flint

1.0

Just far far far too slow and drawn out. It took so long to get even the slightest hint of action that I just gave up waiting. The "setup" seems to actually be most of the book, whereas the "setup" should only be long enough so that you care enough about the characters and understand enough about the world and its back story to become emotionally connected when you get to the meat of the story. But the meat never came....
