4.0 out of 5 stars
Great sci-fi with only minor flaws..,

This review is from: The Ring of Charon (The Hunted Earth) (Mass Market Paperback)
Roger M. Allen's "Ring of Charon" is great science-fiction. A hence-undiscovered alien race causes the Earth to disappear through a wormhole due to the unauthorized experiments of a gravity scientist, and the remaining off-Earth scientists try to find out what really happened. The story is told brillantly through the eyes of the human scientists, and the strange Charonians who plan to use the Earth for their own ends, which are not good for mankind. The way that the Charonians are Von Neumann creatures is a bit hard to swallow, as is the occasional overload of detail, as well the Naked Purple movement and the K-Crash, but Allen manages to be a master storyteller, and weaves a great story of human survival and the need for curiousity.

Strongly recommended!,

This review is from: The Ring of Charon (The Hunted Earth) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Ring of Charon is a fantastic book and I could not wait for the second part to read. Unfortunaly, it took very long to finish it. Then, when the Shattered Sphere finaly found its way to the shop, I've had been waiting so long, that I read the first book again, and it was a pleasure, as I discovered and understood many things, I was not able to the first time. The Shatered Sphere starts off actually very slow, but when it starts going, it certainly lives more then up to the first part. Wow! That is truly "Hardcore Sience Fiction".
I'm just afraid, that I will never find out, how this amazing story will end as theres the stuff for a fantastic third book! Outstanding books, which I will read over and over again, and who knows, maybe we will see the end of this great saga some day...

Roger Allen must be a very close friend of the Muse. The concept of this book is very creative, and he extends science fiction to a new level.
