Two stars might be a bit harsh. I actually enjoyed the book well enough for what it was... it just that it and of itself there was not much too it. The book feels like filler. Nothing much happens (summary: they sell coffee... yup thats it). What really got me is the interesting plot points that they touched on like “oh yeah I have a plan to meet the Farmers” but the the plans never materialized. I probably would have rated the book higher of there had been another book in the series that followed up on The big plots. Its not McCaffrey’s fault that she did not get to finish the series, but as the last book in the series it felt like a practical joke (here is your conclusion... haha, nope they just sell coffee).
