4.0 out of 5 stars The original hype!, January 2, 2006
By 
Ray Francis "sci fi enjoyeur" (St. Joseph, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Farside Cannon (Paperback)
I'm dusting off my collection and contributing where I can. This "review" is the text from the original paperback edition back cover.

I've always enjoyed cliffhanger scifi and this was no exception. Enough characters and background to fire your imagination.

"A war of nerves. Amid the frozen volcanic rubble of northern Iceland, an ancient mystery is solved. In translunar space, an asteroid's orbit is cunningly shifted. And on the Moon, spokesmen for Earth and the Settlement Worlds threaten each other across the conference table. Geologist Garrison Morrow finds himself entangled in a web of deceit, sabotage, and betrayal, as two sides struggle for incredible wealth - and the survival of Earth itself. For on the Lunar Farside, a weapon is nearing completion. Thousands of ranked lasers wait in the darkness with the power to strike and destroy any point in the Solar System. With such a device, Earth could dominate the Settlement Worlds forever. But Earth does not yet control the Farside Cannon."

2.0 out of 5 stars Unremarkable dross, August 3, 2000
This review is from: Farside Cannon (Paperback)
This book was a pleasant read but is most remarkable for the fact that it leaves absolutely no impact on your memory, the sign of a book that is little more than chewing gum. Pure wallpaper!

4.0 out of 5 stars Farside Cannon, November 22, 1999
By 
Gene Gower (Richland, WA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Farside Cannon (Paperback)
This book is a good read. Captivating, entertaining. The protaganist is no angel but is fighting on the side of angels. This book took on the asteroid impact before it became popular to do so. For that the author deserves a great deal of credit.
