Robin Marx reviewed Maelstrom by Peter Watts
Review of 'Maelstrom' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This wasn't a bad book, per se, but it was nowhere near as compelling as Starfish. There wasn't much of the undersea action that made the first book so interesting, it read like a fairly standard cyberpunk novel. The Guilt Trip behavioral modification treatment was an interesting concept, but it wasn't as intriguing as the wetware from the first book. I'll likely read the third book, but I'm not in as much of a rush to see where the story would go as I was immediately after reading Starfish.
