![]() Windows are made of plastisteel, buildings are made of plazbrix, couches are made from plazfoam. I suppose that this is a techique to remind us that we're in a futuristic science fiction setting, but after a while it gets kind of ridiculous. ![]() Gomez, however, can't seem to get through a single sentence without throwing in a random "amigo" or "chiquita." I think that the author was trying to use that to give Gomez some uniqueness, but it feels so forced and unnatural that it made me dread the sections of the book that focused on him.Īnother thing that bothers me is how everything in the world is made up of some sort of plastic, and the author can't shut up about it. None of those people randomly used words from their native language when speaking in English. I've known several people who spoke English as a second language. The dialogue really gets to me whenever the character of Gomez speaks. The exposition is clunky, the world-building is weak, and the dialogue is usually horrendous. The problem that I keep coming up against, though, is the poor quality of the writing itself. I like the concept of a detective story in a science fiction setting. ![]() I keep reading these because the core ideas are good, and I keep hoping to see them realized. Well, if that's the case, Shatner needs a better ghost writer! From what I understand, William Shatner outlines the stories for the Tek novels, but then a ghost writer actually writes everything. ![]()
