A review by polarcubby
A Talent for War by Jack McDevitt

The ending let me down. I didn’t like it. Chase was too timid and deferential, not like Chase we first met. Alex was the opposite, too reckless and bold, too confrontational. The aliens too aggressive and cliche. A disappointment. Revelations were a let down, not in themselves but the type of informational discovered was kind of meh. I had no strong positive feelings towards Sim so his fate didn’t move me.
