3.0 out of 5 stars Sex, Sex, Sex. Doesn't it get tired after a while?, September 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Darkness of God (Shadow Warrior) (Mass Market Paperback)

I've recently read the shadow warrior series and the last legion. I've come to one conclusion. Sex get's to be a tired plot point. EVERY single book of Chris Bunch's i've read has at least one sex scene in it. Ok i'm good for a sex scene or two, but come on! Are the characters fighting their way around the galaxy or sleeping their way around it? It's no wonder humans are on so many worlds in these books, they procreate like rabbits! I give it 3 out of 5 stars. I liked the violence, the plot, and the characters, but there is just too much sex to be believable in this series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lame Ending to the Shadow Warrior Series, November 24, 1997

This review is from: Darkness of God (Shadow Warrior) (Mass Market Paperback)

"The Darkness of God" is the limp ending to Shadow Warrior trilogy.

In "Darkness" Joshua Wolfe wraps up the three long-term plot lines of the trilogy: The Chitra, the Space Eater, and the sociopath shipping magnate.

The Shadow Warrior series is pulp sf. Buying into the series meant accepting a formula Space Opera: Space-ninja Joshua Wolfe gambles, fights, and fornicates his way across the galaxy. "Wind After Time" and "Hunt the Heavens" held true to this formula, and were actually pretty good space battle, ray blaster, and bodice-ripper sf.

"Darkness" was a disappointment. I can only imagine Bunch had a three book contract, and either ran out of story by the end of the second book or had too much to put in the third. This final book picks up where the second book left-off. It then mindlessly recycles the plot of the first book in the series, with the names changed. Finally, it wraps-up the series in the last 50 pages. If I'd known the series was going to end that abruptly and unsatisfactorily, I'd never have started it.

"The Darkness of God" is the lame ending to a Space Opera that had potential. I don't recommend starting the series knowing this is how it ends.

While consistent in tone to the earlier volumes in the series, some questions are either left unanswered or answered somewhat ambiguously. Nevertheless, it is a good read.
