At 60% through I'm giving up on this one.

It's not really fun to read any more, and the author seems to be of the opinion that nothing can be solved without an American there, a rich American dude is needed because the "other nationals on mars" seem to be too stupid to agree, so they send up a rich american white guy to solve the problem.

In almost every situation the solution is listen to the American guy. It's getting really tiresome, and I don't appreciate the whole every other person who isn't American can't decide, can't think in any way that doesn't fit the stereotype the author have of the nation, the only ones who are allowed to have different thoughts are Americans. It's been a tiresome ride, but I think I'll be jumping off.
