![]() When we left Carpentier (Inferno) it was the mid 70's the height of the cold-war. In this book we see the continuing adventures of Alan Carpentier in hell. No character development here, today's readers need more. ![]() I would think two smart writers could visit Hell and have a plot. Even though I agreed with a lot they had to say, the book had no plot as of course neither did Daunte's book. They talked about Silicon Breast Implants and how it was never proved they caused any harm. The talked about DDT and how it should have never been banned and the lives it cost to ban it. They hinted that today's Global Warming Scientist might be scamming us. They mentioned scientists in the 1970's who warned us about a coming Ice Age. ![]() They hammered hard on scientist that gave false evidence. ![]() At first I thought too much so, and then the night I finished the book, the news had a story on the New Orleans Mayor, who had just been convicted of bribery and taking money on construction projects. They hit everyone in New Orleans pretty hard. Niven and Pournelle used this as a way to complain about modern problems. WHAT WAS YOUR SIN? Actually I have several. ![]()
