ôSo no, you are doing the book and the author wrong if you compare it to an average sci-fi book, that you read only once and forget afterwards.ö
With the amount of plot holes and things that donÆt make sense I wonÆt be reading it a 2nd time. Although I did enjoy it, I donÆt think itÆs wrong to compare it to an average sci-fi book as thatÆs what it is.
What about the last chapter? It went on about random stuff that had nothing to do with the storeys in the novel and that will be meaningless for most none Eve players who read it. Its bad writing to make a last chapter of the book unrelated to the rest of the book. It was just so random and felt like pulp writing. Saying that I did like the Broker and the way he was bought back and implanted. That was pretty good.

Not to mention the odd things like a Race that cannot even see normal cloaked objects has no problem whatÆs so ever in spotting extra advance Jove cloaked objects. ItÆs all the stuff like that I didnÆt like.
Backwards engineering 20,000 year old technology thatÆs far beyond anything you have ever seen and its made of and useÆs stuff you know nothing about. Next to impossible in its self but they did it in a matter of hours if that!! ThatÆs like a Caveman backwards engineering a quad core Intel computer.

Hundreds of those cannons and no ammo. At least untill they raid those drones with all that ammo.

ôOnly partially. They didn't take it to pieces, analyze it, learn the basic operating principles and put it back together again - what they did was the equivalent of setting it up without reading the manual.ö
Which should take years if not much longer. They are dealing with a technology they know nothing about using principles and fuel they know nothing about. ItÆs hard enough to get Mac hardware to work on a PC both from the year 2000. Yet alone getting hardware to work thatÆs 20,000 years age difference. Everything from the socket shape, programming language, power requirements would be totally different.
You know how hard it is to get 1980Æs computer equipment and programs working on todayÆs PCÆs. Now imagine a 20,000 year gap with equipment from a different planet with next to no link to each other.
To me it was the same as sticking a Eve Hybrid turret on todayÆs fighter jets or battleships. Not doable in a short timeframe.
They shouldnÆt even have been able to see it in the first. Did I miss it? Did they explain how the Amarr could see the Jove cloaked terrain Weapons. What we should have had was a Chronicle at least 1 year ago about the artefact find. Then in the book we see the end results of research into it.
More to the point the Jove know about the weapons so why didnÆt they use them against the Amarr battle all those years ago? Why did they leave them in space for anyone to find?
I do like the way the weapon was found and used just the timeframe was to compressed for my liking.

With all the other typeing errors in the book I would assume that one is also just an error.
