The Long View" concludes the saga of Rissa Kerguelen. The first two books in the trilogy set the stage for this one: the conquest of Earth. In those earlier books, we saw little-girl Rissa, torn from her family and raised no better than a slave in a corporate concentration camp. We saw her escape, befriend the powerful Hulzein dynasty, leave for the stars, and become co-leader of the rebel forces.

Rissa Victorious,

This review is from: The Long View (Mass Market Paperback)
"The Long View" concludes the saga of Rissa Kerguelen. The first two books in the trilogy set the stage for this one: the conquest of Earth. In those earlier books, we saw little-girl Rissa, torn from her family and raised no better than a slave in a corporate concentration camp. We saw her escape, befriend the powerful Hulzein dynasty, leave for the stars, and become co-leader of the rebel forces.Now, she returns. It's been years of preparation - decades and lifetimes, if you take the "long view" of relativistic time dilation and suspended animation. But factors arose that Rissa's group could never have foreseen: a doomsday bomb, and a madwoman with its detonator always at hand. For all that, this book and this series convey a family-based feel-goodism that are easy to enjoy. They remind me of Heinlein's happy communes, in ways, but with more swashbuckling and more of the hero[ine] with humble beginnings. -- wiredweird

Role Model,
By "phoenixdawns" (NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Long View (Mass Market Paperback)
FM Busby created Rissa... at times, I let myself believe that he created her specifically for me. She has been my role model for many years: strong, confident, yet compassionate. Breaking free of her past tramas and stretching out on wings powered by her own determination, Rissa is everything I want to be when I grow up. At 36, I STILL go back and read this series when I need to renew my sense of worth and confidence. Thank you, Mr. Busby!
