My personal theory is that Clarke's writing partners sedated and tied him inside a closet until the book was finished.

That's the only way to explain how awful some of his last books were.

Having said that, I liked Richter 10. Too bad the co-author died before they could write another one.

My heuristic is that anything co-written by Gentry Lee is not worth my time.

I even wonder why they insisted on it so much.
