Seasons of Boredom 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.
In "Take back Plenty", Tabitha Jute gained control of a very large alien spaceship fitted with a faster-than-light drive. In the second volume of the Plenty trilogy, she decides to make mankind's first interstellar voyage. The book starts quite well, and it ends with a great cliffhanger, but the six hundred odd pages in between seem rather unnecessary."Seasons of Plenty" is a story of breakdowns, the breakdown of Tabitha Jute, of order and sanity on the starship Plenty, and -- to a certain degree -- of the starship itself. This might have been entertaining if it had not been so very very long, or if the characters involved had at least been interesting, but that is not the case.
Sometimes, I felt Greenland was trying to imitate M. John Harrison, and if he did, he failed spectacularly.
Editorial Review:
In an attempt to escape the solar system, renegade space jockey Tabitha Jute and her crew of escaped criminal psychopaths direct their planet-sized starship toward the unexplored Proxima Centauri, but they are targeted by a hijacker.
