As far as plot failures go, this book has crossed the Rubicon. There was no reason to assume scout ships were not with the fleet, less reason to assume one would not follow a large ship with three freighter heading out of the system away from the enemies approach.
The problem with plot failures is what this does to the readers. You decide to jump chapters to see how the plot failure affects the story.
What is worse is knowing that the scout ships exist and not expending massive scientific effort on finding the means to detect the scout ships.
Yes, readers should know that the author is using the scout ships as a tool to provide the opportunity to introduce new threats, excitement, and concern among the readers.
Will Earth and Pallus be attacked? Well the betting would be evens based on what I've read so far.
And will the bad guys find a way to minimize the impact of the space fighters and bombers? Yup.
As a reader, I'm now jumping chapters to focus on the bloopers, so disappointed.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
And I keep coming back for my regular doses! Although the storyline can get a little repetitive, I can understand because there are so many convergent threads coming into this line of books. I can’t wait to see how JWT ties it all together!
