Well I haven't read the book or really know anything about how the story went, so I can't be THAT much of a heretic...right?Quote:

I'm sorry that is complete crap. While the arthropod archetype is understandable (insects tend to evolve at a quicker rate IIRC) it is too "generic sci fi" for me. I don't enjoy the idea of the galaxy's supreme race being so bland and predictable (almost every sci fi genre has a insect race). I more or less imagined the precursors being somewhat like the aliens from The Knowing:

Extremely evolved translucent beings who create and work for the benefit of the galaxy, and don't go on an entire revenge trip that will kill EVERYTHING in it.
I expected (most of us did I want to think) after all these years, one of THE BIGGEST mysteries about this series wouldn't be so bland and predictable and uninteresting as a revenge episode.
In my opinion yes the book is that bad.
Greg Bear defines generic sci-fi, if not, is carrying the forsaken torch.

Giant bugs, eh? To be honest, I kind of like the sound of that.
