No offense intended but if you're basing your opinion about the D-Clock future purely on recaps and reviews and posts, but are not reading it, you really can't know whether you'd like it or not. Readers of the series have incredible context through which to view the D-Clock future but you're missing out on the context.
Would you review a book you never read, based solely on what you've read about the book? Because that's sort of what you're doing here.
