5.0 out of 5 stars Best Scifi book I've read, January 17, 1999
By raunok@tig.com.au (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
Not just this book, but all five of the Seafort saga books have been my favourites since i read them. i recommend anyone who likes scifi or navy books to read these. david feintuch has managed to write a series that draws the reader totally into the story. the characters of the story became so real to me and have never departed my memory. This book will make you laugh, cry and keep you on the edge of your seat eagerly turning to the next page. I could write pages and pages of praise for David Feintuch, an inspiration to would-be writers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant, May 30, 1999
By A Customer
It has been a couple of days now since I finished Fisherman's Hope. I must say that it one of the most hard-hitting and emotive "sci-fi" novels I have ever read (and I don't read much sci-fi). I loved it. The inter-relationships between the characters and the whole attitude of the main character, Nick Seafort, is just brilliant, executed with a passion that brings him to life. Thank you David Feintuch for your portrayal of Nick Seafort. Truly fantastic!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Seafort Saga ends with a flourish, May 24, 1999
By A Customer
This is the last book in the Seafort saga which actually deals with Nick Seafort himself. Having somehow survived countless alien attacks and the wrath of the Admiralty, he is assigned to the Academy to help train cadets having become an international hero. Those of you who have read the other Seafort books will know what Nick thought of that . . . Once in the Academy he is faced with international crisis and an alien armada advancing on Earth, and hatches a plan to defeat them that will condemn him for the rest of his life. This is a worthy end to the Nick Seafort saga, and it has an interesting twist at the end which will surprise those who have stuck with the series from the beginning.

2.0 out of 5 stars The series has gone in the toilet.
The last three books were very good, even with the transpop characters thrown in. The first half of this one is interesting in depicting academy life. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars More angst-ridden adventure with Nick Seafort
If there's one thing you can say about the Hope series, it's that Feintuch manages to grow the characters but still manages to keep their basic premises intact. Read more
