Iron Truth by S.A. TholinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a 3-star review which is a fair estimate of my experience.
This book won the Self Published Science Fiction Contest.
The first three fourths of the book was really pretty good. Solid sci-fi involving colony ships, crash landings, and weird worlds. Then it diverted into some religious stuff.
I'm OK with religion in fantasy. And faith in some unknowable whatever in sci-fi is OK. But when you suggest that there is an active, mystical component in sci-fi, it stops being sci-fi for me. The last quarter of the book lost me.
Well written, but the plot went off the rails.
