5.0 out of 5 stars Monsoon, the planet to die for?, October 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Monsoon (Renegade Legion, 5604) (Paperback)

Short Summary: Monsoon is a planet between the lines of the allmighty Terran Overlord Goverment (TOG) and the freedom thristy Commonwealth. Declared a no-fire-zone and united by common interest in it's natural resources both powers seek to impose their influence on the planet and it's origin race. The TOG by the brutal methods of an occupation power, the Commonwealth by commando missions. Who will win? Nobody! Who will loose? The people of Monsoon! A very depressing book with paralells to our own kind but nonetheless fun to read. Comment: The detailed creation of an alien world was one of the greatest things the autor achieved in this book. The tricky storyline is something for used readers and therefore this novel is far above the standard of common RPG based books like Shadowrun or Battletech. The Renegade Legion System was cut of further development by FASA but the spirit remains.

I found the characters irritating and one-dimensional, the action stinted and fake, and the writing style to be somewhat like my 12th grade english teacher- congratulations, it's spelled right! Unfortunately, it makes me want to take my eyes out with a spork. I brought this book to work thinking it would get me through the shift. I found myself sifting through six months of back maintenance reports instead- it was more fun.
