I stumbled across an article of many authors who had passed due to covid, and instantly noticed Ben Bova. As a teenager, I devoured books. They were little glimpses of wonderful or terrible things that the future will hold. Ben Bova was a favourite, and in the mid 90’s I had a fair collection of his works. I remembered the “Exiles” trilogy being especially interesting, as it spanned a story of three distinct parts over many centuries. Unfortunately, revisiting these 25-30 years later has shown me how dated the views of the characters in the books have become and they are painful to read/listen to now. The core story is still interesting but sadly, I no longer consider it something I would recommend.

Hasn’t aged well unfortunately

1 hour and 37 minutes to finish the book and I quit. The characters are unrealistic Tarzan and Jane.

I suffered this through book one, but it has become so oppressive that I want them all to die in space and burn up entering the atmosphere. The story concept is great. Instantly and totally evil opponents, manly and chauvinistic heroes and bubble headed ditzy blondes, ruin the effort.

I am deleting book 2 unfinished and book 3 unstarted.

19th century melodrama.
