The Affinity Bridge by George Mann

1.0

I get it, I get it. Steampunk is "in." Zombies are "in." Speculation about androids is "in." But do we really need to put them all in one book? Mann does nothing but attempt to cater to the masses in this mess of genre-fiction. Bland writing and flat dialogue round out a cast of indistinguishable characters. Even the cheesiest (but still fun) genre series (think Dresden Files, Anita Blake, etc.) at least have characters with some spunk and differentiation--and if you're writing what you're hoping will be a long-lived genre-mystery series, how else are you going to pull readers in? Lifeless and unoriginal, this book smacks of desperate-for-an-audience writing.
