Ben Bova's The Precipice didn't enthrall me. The book was one of my sci-fi fantasies that I usually reserve for the movies. I expected them to make it to the astrobelt. I expected the bad guy to get in the end. I expected the hero would be heroic. I didn't find the moon base as adventurous as it could have been. The Anti-hero being a financial guru that conspired against hero Dan wasn't evil enough. This one left me wanting more. Sorry but I recommend passing this one by.

The Precipice Without Fear
