I purchased L.E. Modesitt Jr's book The Elysium Commission a few weeks ago but I have been having trouble getting started with it. I have liked Modesitt's scifi books in the past but this one seems so filled with so many made up words that he doesn't explain that I find I am distracted from the story. And to be honest so far the story doesn't seem that interesting anyways.

I have only managed to get to about page 30 and I am trying to decide if it is worth it to simply power through the tough start or just toss write it off as a loss and move on to the next one.
