This was my final non-Recluce book by Modesitt.

Yet another anti-American, anti-capitalism diatribe thinly wrapped in a stale scifi cover. He preaches. Again and again and again.

Wish he would simply go write a non-fiction book instead of disguising it as scifi. At least that way I would know to skip it. Well, like I said, no more for me.

This reads more like a study on how to do world-buliding than an actual novel. Way too much detail on the little things (like what he eats at *every* meal) and not enough of a plot.
I finished the book because I am a big fan of the Recluse series, in all it's many layers. But I wouldn't read any more featuring this bland character. He wasn't even that curious about this entirely new world! Drove me nuts.
