Yup.

Best description of the problem I've seen is that Clarke is the prime
example of an "enlightened secular humanist"; Gentry Lee is a
conservative, doctrinaire, Catholic.  Not subtle about it, either.

Coulda been worse.  "Cradle", by the same two authors, got bounced off a
wall when I realized that I had just read two hundred pages of
uninteresting, poorly done descriptions of some of the main characters'
adolescent sexual experiences.  I figured that by the time they got done
with that, there wouldn't be room left in the book for anything else.
