noah's ark human in space ...

In reading other novels of Peter Curling I try to repeat the pleasure I had to read Wang 1 & 2 ... it will not be for this story! Ester is a planet that will soon be overcrowded, the ruling caste on site decided to send 5,000 prisoners in space and as many people in a rocket to colonize a distant planet can be ... So far so good! Then, as in some books Planking, many, many religions through several clergies, who decide many things (laws for adultery, marriage ...). I find some characters not necessarily credible, as Abzalon, up from bloodthirsty killer over 100 women (it is unnecessary) to coil and dad ... In short, I was bored!
