Query: No real live human-type people in this book..

You would have thought that by his third book, Joel Rosenberg would have learned something about characterization and scene setting. But he hasn't.I never expected characters of the quality drawn by W E B Griffin or Bernard Cornwell, for that takes a master, but once again, I don't care whether Rosenberg's hero survives. Even when Bennett receives the severed finger of his fiancée, he has no emotional response.The whole plot uses a great deal of action to support what could happen if the Ezekiel prophecies came true. In this volume, no attempt has been made to hide the author's evangelical mindset, including a quotation of the 23rd Psalm in its entirety.I gave it the old college try. I read three of Rosenberg's efforts. I will now return to authors who write characters that make me care whether they live or die.
