I suppose Look to Windward was sufficiently interesting to keep me reading to the end, but I can't say I'm impressed by it. Nothing happens. You can't keep the reader in suspense if you can't convince them the threat is real--and my suspicion that it wasn't was amply justified in the denouement--and if you conceal entirely any clues to the Big Reveal, it's just yeah? and?

Also, the aliens? Not very alien.
I think this one could go to a charity shop with no feelings of regret on my part.
