Cloudcry
Cloudcry | Sydney J. Van Scyoc
1 post | 1 read
"Verrons, the interstellar explorer, is infected with the dread "bloodblossom" disease, and exiled to the quarantine planet. But Verrons is not the kind of man to stay quietly in a depressing little colony of dying men and other humanoids. Together with Wells, a human from the ice-planet Talberon, and Tiehl, a bird-man alien, he strikes out across the surveyed-but-unexplored wilderness of the planet. All of them are cynical about the prospects of a cure and determine to live or die on their own"--Jacket flap

I tried desperately to enjoy this book. The plot had a lot of potential, but the execution was lackluster at best and grating at worst. Everything from the characters to the setting were underdeveloped, which made the short book drag. Even by chapter 10/16 I could not muster curiosity for the ending, let alone stomach reading another six chapters. Maybe someday I‘ll finish it, but probably not.
