I have just finished the book. I could feel how Takei was writing himself into Hosato (the protagonist).

Good action ,the ninja part was cool ,and the charecters were fine. What made the book a 4* instead of 5 ,is that it felt a bit clumsy when compared to books writen at about the same stage of sci-fi development ,a bit naive.

It was cute ,with Lucy ,Hosato's robot side-kick ,being his best friend.

Worth the read.

I'm impressed with this book every time I pick it up and read it. And I've read it several times. It has all the elements of a great Sci-Fi story. I'm still waiting for a sequel from the two authors.

A ripping good yarn, combining the irony of Robert Asprin with the first attempts of George Takei, the original Star Trek Ensign Sulu.

It's a futuristic ninja/spy thriller, well written and consistantly brilliant, without the lapses often found in many new author's fist books.

If they made a movie of this book, they would probably re-title it "Ninja in Space". This is a pretty entertaining read, if you go in for this sort of thing.

This is the best book that I have ever read that was written by a celebrity. It was written many years before it became the fashion for Star Trek stars to write science fiction books. I have read many of the other ones that have come out over the years and Mirror Friend Mirror Foe is the best so far. Of course with a co-author as good as Robert Asprin it would be hard to go wrong. The is a very good science fiction book to read even if you don't consider who the authors are.
