Joe Strummer & The Mescalaros: Global A Go-Go
The story of Dead Eddie’s House would be a fun, depressing, and, in the end, redeeming one, if the author could only remember certain things about 1993:
- WebTV wasn’t even FOUDNED until 1993 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webtv), so referencing it in the book is inaccurate.
- The odds of a mobile phone fitting remotely comfortably in your back pocket in 1993 was pretty slim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_phones)
- In 1993, the phrases “web site” and “internet” were barely a buzz word, nevermind a piece of vernacular. The odds of someone saying “Go check the internet for bomb recipes” would be slim.
If Wells could have better researched or had a better editor on this book, it may have been more engrossing. It certainly would have distracted me less, making me wonder what flub the author would do next.
I’m all for a ST: TNG novel as much as the next person, doubly so with a Borg plotline. ‘Resistance,’ however, left me with a sour taste. The story telling was uneven and much of the characterization assumes the reader is a complete moron and knows nothing about these characters.
I understand an author needs to offer something for new readers to a series, but nothing of ‘Resistance’ (It’s cover or plotline) are much in the way of new-fan-attracting level.
