dsrtao_Escape From Hell_, Niven and Pournelle
About halfway through this sequel to _Inferno_, the narrator says "I'm beginning to sound like a character in a book I don't like" and he's right.
I put it down there. I'm not picking it back up again.
Pointless, almost characterless, and a travelogue plot that doesn't show anything interesting.
