5.0 out of 5 stars Just when you think the guilt can't get deeper..., February 17, 2000

This review is from: Fisherman's Hope (Seafort Saga) (Mass Market Paperback)

A great book that pulls you in. If you read the series consectutively, you'll wonder what kind of situation could be worse in the next book than what Seafort has done in the present book. And how Feintuch can pull it off. But he does, and Seafort's hold on sanity just comes that much looser.

Seafort's flashbacks flows from past to present smoothly, and there's always a connection there. You learn more about his past than you do in the previous books. And there's also a twist on the end that's sure to suprise suprise. It may (or may not) make you look at the the previous series a bit differently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding series, October 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fisherman's Hope (Seafort Saga) (Mass Market Paperback)

I feel an almost guilty pleasure in liking this series, but I really enjoyed this book and all the others in the Seafort Saga. The books are great for the adolescent or the adolescent in each of us that sees things in absolutes and good and evil and right and wrong. Nice exploration of the puritan soul plagued by guilt. Also good action etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Scifi book I've read, January 17, 1999

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.
