It has been a year and three days since my last book review. Very discouraging for me, and I will endeavor to do better in the future. As with the last one, this new review is a continuation of my look at E. E. Knight's Vampire Earth series.

Spider Robinson was given the unenviable task of turning Robert Heinlein's outline and notes into a finished novel, and for the most part Variable Star was worth the wait and his effort.
