Very slow read and a bit dull, sadly. 😐 ( )

An author I usually enjoy, in an Sf universe I like, but not much of a story. Basically "What would B5 do if Cthulhu came through a jump gate?". But far too stretched out. The story really only got going in the last quarter of the book. All the initial chapters ended with repetitive lines about "they don't know what's coming", "the end of humanity is about to happen", over and over. ( )
