A review by mikimeiko
Aftermath by Charles Sheffield
3.0
This was definitely a weird book. The story was quite interesting, and so were some of the characters (though with so many who were supposed to have very different backgrounds it was really evident how Sheffield tends to assign to each person the same kind of analytical approach that is very... mathematician-like). Sadly, it felt like it had a lot of potential that didn't really go anywhere.
The writing was really clunky, with a lot of explanatory sentences that read like explanations written in after receiving feedback without any reformulation.
And having read most of Sheffield's work I did not. Expect. This much SEX. (Also, it never felt natural. It was like he suddenly decided that he needed to add THE SEX to the book and... no, it really is not necessary if you don't like Charles).
