5.0 out of 5 stars Galen is *BACK*!, December 18, 2003

This review is from: Dark Hunter: The Chronicles of Galen Sword, Book 3 (Paperback)

After a wait of 12 years, Galen Sword and Company returns in triumph to the First and Second Worlds. The Reeves-Stevens have promised a total of *nine* Chronicles, and if "Dark Hunter" is any clue, the rest of the story, and the final answers to many questions will be well worth the wait. Great cover art on this Trade Paperback, and Babbage Press has a deal that if you buy all three Chronicles at once, you get them cheaper AND all three are signed by the authors! Without giving away too much, we learn who the Dark Hunter really is, learn some things about Brin we surely didn't know, and see the darker side of Professor Forsythe. A real page turner, I know you will love it as much as I did. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars 12 years later and worth the wait., November 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Dark Hunter: The Chronicles of Galen Sword, Book 3 (Paperback)

I am happy that this 3rd book finially made it to print.
Galen is finially back, and, as expected, the book takes us on quite a romp thru the "First World". For those of us that read the first 2 books in the series this book explains plenty. I do not like reviews that give away things so I will not do so. I will say that Orion and Bub are back (my favorites) and that the series is not over! I look forward to books 4-6 and another tour de force with Galen and his exceptional crew. It is worth adding to your collection. Thanks

This review is from: Dark Hunter: The Chronicles of Galen Sword, Book 3 (Paperback)

Dark Hunter is a great addition to the Chronicles of Galen Sword. The book answers many question and introduces a number of other questions/mysteries.

The writing is intelligently done and the characters are slightly more than two-dimensional stereotypes. Although sometimes it gets difficult to believe certain characters (Ko and Foresyte for example) that think/act like idiots but are supposed to be really, really smart.

Due to legal problems, the authors were unable to publish the 3rd book in the series until 12 years after the 2nd book in the series (Nightfeeder). This is explained in the prelude to chapter 1 called: "THE RETURN OF GALEN SWORD: Introduction to the Babbage Press Editions of the First Three Chronicles".

It has now been over 7 years since Dark Hunter has been originally published. While those that are mathematically inclined will note that 7 < 12, I have to state that there has been no word on when book 4 will be published (if ever). I am starting to question the commitment of this writing team.

With that said. I rate "Dark Hunter" a solid 5 stars due to the interesting story line and good writing style. I rate the series a dismally solid 1 star for lack of communication (from writers to fans) and lack of books to sustain readers' interests.

One last note for the mathematically inclined. In almost 20 years of time we have received 1 additional book from this series. While I enjoy the series and would like to continue reading I have to express my disgust at the seeming lack of motivation to get the 4th (and consecutive) books out. I'm not entirely sure if I will further support these writers by purchasing their books when all they seem to be interested in is making it big in Hollywood (you can research this yourself).
