I bought this book a while ago in a charity shop. I'm usually just happy to find a scifi book in amongst the trashy romance. Anyway, i thought that this would keep me occupied for a while in summer, go to the park and have a read and relax.

The cover on the back read quite well and i thought it looked interesting, I had seen a few other books by the Author around and so i figured he must be pretty good to get them all published. I was Sadly disappointed.

The book started off slowly and a little dull, ok some books do that, I'll wait for it to start getting interesting. Its part of a three part series, maybe he just got carried away creating a nice long intro, so I carry on.

The interesting stuff never happened, or if it did it was so far between boring detail and pointless prose that it wasn't worth it. I persevered though and carried on right until the end, it took me over a year i think because i just stopped reading it so often, it was like a chore i was always putting off.

I am not exaggerating, recently i even bought the next two in the series, i had been reading to much and not working. Two was overkill, the first one shut down my desire to read almost instantly and i could get back to some work, i kid you not.

Plot
Dead peoples "souls" are coming back and taking possession of the bodies of the living. They have done it before and an alien species wiped itself out rather than surrender. Now they are doing it to humans. We must stop them somehow, but we don't know how. There is a varied cast in this space opera, but i do not recall their names, nor do i wish to.
