Query: A book without a direction

It's a science fiction novel!, no a fantasy novel, no a mystery....religous thriller......oh for cryin' out loud. The only thing worse than a book that is just downright lousy is one that starts out strong, draws you in then takes a plummet all the way....well to hell.If just one of those themes delivered anything of quality it might have been worth slogging through Jeff Long's long winded dialogue, chapters and weak plotting. Even skipping to the end will leave you with an incredibly absurd ending that comes out of nowhere with no support of the preceding pages.
