5.0 out of 5 stars GRIPPING!, June 13, 2003

This review is from: Prisoner's Hope (Seafort Saga) (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked up the Seafort saga 6 days ago and just could not stop. From Midshipman's Hope to Challenger's Hope to the end of Prisoner's Hope I am still hooked badly and will no doubt finish the rest of the 4 books in the next week. I just have to pause to praise the first 3 books of the series. Some reviews do not seem to think too highly of Nick Seafort but I found myself liking the hero. Raised by a deeply religious and stern father one could understand Nick's fears for God, the high standards he set for himself and his angst. The plot is riveting though depressing in Challenger's Hope. I found myself near tears a few times in Challenger's Hope and Philip's heroic sacrifice is heart rending though it is to be expected in military science fiction. Feintuch has written a great action packed saga with well developed characters and I am glad to add him to my list of must read writers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gripping, but the main character is irritating, April 9, 2002

By 

Francine taylor (Portland, OR, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prisoner's Hope (Seafort Saga) (Mass Market Paperback)

Well written, with a strong plot and powerful sense of conflict. The only gripe I have is that the main character seems to be his own worst enemy. He is continually snapping at people and psychologically brutalizing them, all in the name of his "god" (basically the rules of the navy) and then moaning about what a terrible person he is and how everyone hates him and how he hates himself. He'll do something bad, agonize over it, and then turn around and do it again. I find myself wondering if he will ever grow as a character.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much moaning, July 2, 2002

By 

Darren A. Jones (Stephens City, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prisoner's Hope (Seafort Saga) (Mass Market Paperback)

The first one of this series was very good, but the second one was simply unremitting gloom. I didn't even finish the third one, because I was tired of Nick's continual moaning about how bad his life was.
