Sean Randall reviewed Paths to otherwhere by James P. Hogan
Review of 'Paths to otherwhere' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This story had a lot of potential, started out quite interestingly indeed. Sadly, it suffers from what I call Sawyerism - taken from [a:Robert J. Sawyer|25883|Robert J. Sawyer|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1224975910p2/25883.jpg]'s tendency to end cracking scientific novels with transhumanic or Utopian Nirvana-like happy ever afters. Not that I can say Sawyer did it first, of course, but I encountered it first with him.
On the other hand, there were some very good bits: the science was fun, the Human observation good too, especially at the end of chapter twenty-four, and the single word slip that gives the game away in chapter forty-two was also very, very clever. Shame about the end.
