<p>Last night, I finished reading the Jeff Flake/Rob Hart collab DETOUR. I did enjoy it, despite its flaws, but I have a few caveats:</p><p>1) It is the first in the series, and apparently they did not promote it as such, so many readers were irritated about the abrupt ending. </p><p>2) The story reads as if it is being optioned as a TV series, and apparently, it was.</p><p>3) The characters are laughably one-note creations. Ex: I am a smart but awkward female scientist who lacks confidence. </p><p>4) The story is not only clichéd and burdened by stereotypes, but also spends a very long time to get to space and then spends almost no time there. </p><p>You may enjoy this, too. It was fun, very light fare, and honestly, sometimes you are in the mood for that. </p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedigroups.social/@bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a> <a href="/tags/bookstodon/" rel="tag">#bookstodon</a></p>
