4.0 out of 5 stars Epsilon, September 28, 2002

This review is from: Epsilon (Paperback)

I'm really not that kind of a girl, but Jack Remmler in John J. Rust's "Epsilon" captured me. The story pussyfotted so quickly from stupid campus life to WOW! The world of Sci Fi is populated with weirdos-albiet wonderful folks,but Rust's sickos as well as honorable characters are real...I'm sure. Well, maybe.
Lots of fun reading this one. Probably not intended to be a quick read, it's a book I couldn't put down until I turned the last page. Nurabi is a most captivating type. Watch out for him.

5.0 out of 5 stars EPSILON My Hero, September 28, 2002

By 

denny (Rock Springs, Wyoming) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Epsilon (Paperback)

We all need heroes and EPSILON is mine. What would the world be without heroes such as EPSILON and Superman? They allow us to slip from earth bound creature to observer and action figure in the destruction of our enemies. After all, it is entertainment for the minds that can read and allow the other guy to do the conquering. Good book John J. Rust. I'm looking forward to the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comic Book meets Tom Clancy, July 18, 2002

By 

Tom Wright (Prescott Valley, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Epsilon (Paperback)

I'm not a big comic book fan, but Epsilon may change that. Author John J. Rust blends a superhero story with a real down to earth, sometimes gritty, world. His interest in modern U.S. Military weapons and tactics clearly shows, keeping the reader's feet firmly planted on the ground, avoiding the usual pitfals associated with comic books shifting to the written medium. Epsilon is a very enjoyable read, and I plan on buying the sequel.

On the point brought up by another reviewer, who Mr. Rust dedicates his book to has absolutly NO bearing on the quality of the book. It's nice to see someone show a close bond with thier parents.
