5.0 out of 5 stars Nightside & Owen Deathstalker, June 13, 2006

By 

Throat Wobbler Mangrove (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mistworld (Paperback)

The first books I read by Simon R. Green are the Nightside books, I raced through them one after another, and I find his writing superb! As the latest Nightside had not yet come out, I tried the DeathStalker, I read as often as time allowed, I found myself thoroughly engrossed! I have just started the sequel and am well into that as well, however I keep encountering references regarding previous adventures and only learned recently of the preludes "Mistworld, Ghostworld and Hellworld", I'm considering stopping the Death Stalker series until I have read those first.

At any rate I highly recommend his books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Complex Plot --- Lots of Death, November 19, 2003

This review is from: Mistworld (Paperback)

This is the first of Green's Twilight Of The Empire novels. This is the same Empire as that in the Owen Deathstalker books.

This story takes place on Mistworld in the city of Mistport. Mistworld is a rebel world and has been fending off the Empire for several hundred years. But now things are starting to get out of control.

Mistworld is a harsh world and the Empire's blockade has reduced most of the society to almost medieval levels. But there is high-tech and psionics. We meet thieves, con men, agents, investigators, council members and businessmen; a huge cast of characters for a 218-page book.

A lot of people die in this book but the death is not graphic. It is not a happy tale but it is well written and you will remember it. It is also quite different from the others in the series in tone and style.

This is a must-read for anyone familiar with Green's Empire novels but it also stands alone very well.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad start, January 9, 1999

By 

Matt Martinez (Burbank, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mistworld (Paperback)

While this is not one of Green's better stories about the Empire, it is involving and introduces us to some great characters, such as Investigator Topaz. I just wish Green had spent more time in developing a satisfying climax.
