Kilian’s first novel in his “Chronoplane Wars” series was an entertaining book almost overstuffed with interesting ideas, and a prequel would seem to provide an opportunity to explore some of them in greater detail. Yet Kilian seems to approach this book with all of the enthusiasm of a high school student trying to complete his homework. Key developments such as the discovery of the chronoplanes are simply dumped into the story, with their impact upon events more described than shown. Instead the primary focus of the plot is on the conspiracy, yet even here Kilian does little to develop sympathy for his characters or suspense over the inevitable outcome. The result is a bloated disappointment that squanders the opportunity to develop the promise of his earlier work in the series. ( )
