4.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as Perry's other books, but still excellent., May 22, 2000
This review is from: Brother Death (Paperback)
Nobody does martial arts/action/sci-fi novels better than Steve Perry, and even when he's not at his best, his work is still well worth reading. This book does a good job of adding more human depth to the excessively-muscled Bork of the other Matador novels.

The story focuses on Bork's life, his history with his father, and his search for a sense of self-worth as he encounters an opponent who might finally be able to beat his physical strength.... Of course, you're probably not looking for introspection when you read a Matador novel, so you may feel the angst detracts from the action. I know I did.

For more background to some of the more obscure references in the novel, see if you can track down the Omega Cage.

This review is from: Brother Death (Paperback)

Brother Death is the eighth book in the Matador Series but could be read first . They include:
1) The Man Who Never Missed 1985
2) Matadora 1986
3) The Machiavelli Interface 1986
4) The Omega Cage 1988
5) The 97th Step 1989
6) The Albino Knife 1991
7) Black Steel 1992
8) Brother Death 1992
9) The Mushashi Flex 2006
Brother Death being a back story.

Perry writes fun-to-read books, while you're waiting for John Ringo's latest book to come out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not up to the standard of the others in the series, November 5, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Brother Death (Paperback)
This was trite in comparison to the previous novels, and Bork's introspection isn't enough to carry the whole book. The Matadora Trilogy(ish) had a lot of depth for space opera, which made it very enjoyable... I was disappointed with Brother Death - however, I'm still looking for a copy of Albino Knife, so I couldn't have been THAT disappointed... :)
