Brilliant, Wonderful, Fantastic...

These are all single words that could be used to sum up this the latest offering from Mark Ellis.

Once again Mark Ellis has proven that this series belongs to him and him alone, gone are the silly stupid mistakes and flat characterisation that we get with the stand in "guest" writers and back comes the intelligent, thought provoking penmanship that all Outlanders fans keep coming back again and again for.

Like all his books he weaves a tale that draws the reader in with the first few words and then bombards the mental senses with well written, well described scenes that makes it almost impossible to put down once you have started.

Previous reviews have laid out the tale and background to this novel so I am not going to repeat it again here. What I am going to add is it is nice to see the usual bunch of heroes (Kane, Grant and Brigid) supported by one of (in my opinion) the most under rated secondary characters in the series Reba DeFore. Here we get to see her do a lot more than patch up the hero's after a fight, in this book we get to see here get into the fight herself.

This book is sure to please no matter if you are a long time fan or a first timer to the series, get it and enjoy...

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly entertaining reminder, June 2, 2006

This review is from: Rim Of The World (Outlanders) (Mass Market Paperback)

I fell out of the habit of reading the Outlanders series on a regular basis due to the substandard quality of fill-in books, those not written by Mark Ellis.

I almost didn't pick up Rim of the World, but after finishing it I'm very glad I did. It's a highly entertaining reminder of why I became a fan of the Outlanders series.

A very colorful adventure set mainly in Africa, it showcases all the strengths of the main cast of characters. I particularly like how the surly Grant is portrayed as a man of intelligence and sensitivity. For that matter, all of the Cerberus warriors (Brigid, Kane, Domi) are head, shoulders and feet above the stereotyped idiocies of most of these psuedo-post nuke tales so beloved by the single digit IQ types who post fake reviews here.

Overall, I was delighted by the action, humor and and fast-paced narrative of Rim of the World and I look forward to the next entry by Mark Ellis.

This was the first book in the Outlanders series I have read and now I'm a fan! Great action inside of a sci-fi plot with heroes you really like!

I found out from the main fan site that James Axler who writes Outlanders is really a writer named Mark Ellis and he's now one of my fave writers!
