Review of 'This Alien Shore' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I had a hard time finishing this book. It took a long time for all of the actors in the story to appear, and I found very few of them to be particularly sympathetic. What kept me going was the need to understand the two central mysteries of the story. The conclusion was satisfying in that it answered all of the posed questions, brought justice to the guilty, and ended logically. I’m not sure I’d recommend the book, however. I thought it was excellently written; I just didn’t care for it much.
