4.0 out of 5 stars Dave Duncan does Sci-Fi!, April 5, 2000

Derek Irwin - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hero! (Mass Market Paperback)

I find it unfortunate that this book is out of print; it is a very interesting exploration of the possible ramifications of a society of clones -- particularly poignant now that our own science is almost at that stage. Will a 5% variability in traits ever allow for a traitor? This book raises the question, answers it, then leaves you asking more and more interesting ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Dave Duncan book, this time Sci-fi!, August 20, 2010

This review is from: Hero! (Mass Market Paperback)

Dave Duncan is one of my favorite authors. I wish he would write more sci-fi because he has the knack for it. A real page turner, original concepts, interesting characters that you care about.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, August 2, 2010

izstew - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Hero! (Kindle Edition)

I recently stumbled across Dave Duncan's Blades books and read through them all in about 6 weeks. I loved them all, gripping tales well told. Then I bought this.... what a disappointment if you are used to the Blades books. The style of writing is totally different; the depth of characters and storyline seem very shallow. Other than the ability to imagine other worlds in detail, this seems almost to be the work of another author.

2.0 out of 5 stars Solid plot, ok characters, but no happy ending.
Good characters, with understandable problems. But I was left feeling so digusted with the society, I was hoping they would get wiped out. Read more

Really bad. Must have been written by middle-schoolers. Clunky dialogue, feisty teen virgin, flashbacks on top of flashbacks. I can't wait to delete it. Read more

It's a shame this book isn't available -- it's one of my favorites. I found it a very compelling sci-fi novel that makes you think about it long after you've finished reading it... Read more
