Resurrection is a science fiction book by Arwen Elys Dayton. In it, two races of people from two different planets push each other to the brink of extinction and send teams eight light years to Earth in an attempt to recover long lost technology that could propel either race to a tactical advantage against the other.The story sounds interesting and certainly sounds like the backdrop for a great SciFi novel. The problem is that the characters are underdeveloped, the settings mundane, and the book itself never really picks up any momentum. By the time the reader gets to the end of the story, you're excited not because of what you're reading, but because it's almost over.I'm surprised there are so many rave reviews for the book. This is mediocre science fiction at best.
