5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, Inspiring in the Tradition of Star Wars, Star Trek, March 9, 2001

This review is from: Entering Tenebrea (Tenebrea Trilogy #1) (Mass Market Paperback)

An epic story well crafted by the authors -- it is easily gripping, a real page-turner. The characters are engaging and imaginative while still relatable, as are the plights they find themselves in and the cause for which they choose to rally and take many risks. Like other epic, futuristic, inter-species space stories, "Entering Tenebrea" calls humans in this day in age to reflect deeply on current-day technological advances which might be the beginning of future problems, and gives us the chance to decide how we want our world and our contibution to life in this universe to be. Utterly gripping. I eagerly await the publication of part 2. Brava!

5.0 out of 5 stars A thought-provoking page-turner, June 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Entering Tenebrea (Tenebrea Trilogy #1) (Mass Market Paperback)

Entering Tenebrea is an entertaining and thoughtful book that deserves to be read twice.

The characters are a blend of purpose and psychosis. Andrea is downright scary, irreverent, yet oddly maternal-perhaps fiercely maternal? I would not want to catch her in a dark alley in a bad mood. The description of her cutting the Cor Hunter's throat is chilling-although strangely just. Her chance encounter with Cor Hunter's children is a sobering comment on the violence that had forever change her life.

Far from predictable, the plot carefully prepares the reader for twists yet to come in rest of the trilogy. I can't wait to find out what happens to the sympathetic although often cruelly pragmatic K'Rin. Will Andrea's only ally, H'Roo-Parh, reconcile after he rebukes her for her brutality. Will the clone Tara get tough and do what she needs to do? Will Brigon, sort of a clone bandit, leave the wilderness to join the resistance? Will Andrea's rage go over the edge to insanity? I see hints that Andrea and Brigon's rocky start portends a deeper interest.

The treatment of clone technology is accurate and troubling. The Quazel Protein operates much like the protein that causes mad cow disease. Where do Dawson and Graham get their material? I checked their reference to the stranger-than-fiction Bat Flower--origin India, Earth. It's real.

All in all, this book is a must read for anyone who wants a page-turner that makes you think.

This review is from: Entering Tenebrea (Tenebrea Trilogy #1) (Mass Market Paperback)

I only purchased this book because of the fact that I was quite curious to know how Roxann Dawson would do in her first job as an author. Knowing her fine acting work as b'Ellana Torres in the Star Trek Voyager series it was no surprise to see that her writing is as strong as her acting and directing. This first part was very good, especially in the character description of the heroin. Well done Roxann and Daniel, can't wait to read the sequels.
