The man can't do decent character development and introduces everyone through little chunks of exposition. Having said that the idea was great and once I was past the first painful 100[0] pages the remaining 393[1] were worth it.

When a more innocent and dreadfully cute alien race is threatened by another cloud things become a little more urgent.
