Product Description
Long out of print, The Sand Wars is Charles Ingrid's classic saga of military science fiction. This special omnibus edition includes the first three books of the series-Solar Kill, Lasertown Blues, and Celestial Hit List-together for the first time.

Jack Storm was one of the last Knights-a soldier abandoned by his own people to fight a battle he couldn't possibly win. His only defense: a suit of armor that has been altered by his alien enemies...armor that could, if worn too long, transform him into an inhuman killing machine....

But Jack Storm is not a machine. He is a man-on a one-man crusade of vengeance.... --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable novels -- great value., January 18, 2003

By	Edward Alexander Gerster "miamibooks" (South Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Sand Wars, Volume One: Solar Kill, Lasertown Blues and Celestial Hit List (Sand Wars omnibus) (Paperback)

Not just for fans of miltary sci-fi, these adventures of Jack Storm, the last Dominion Knight, are enjoyable stories of adventure and a quest for justice. I applaud Daw Books for releasing these novels in this 3-in-1 paperback format that is a true bargain in these days of corporate greed. And it is a pleasure to be able to re-read these tales in order, as the individual books have been out of print for some time.

The universe created here by Charles Ingrid may not be filled with many new or novel scientific angles, but the very familiar feel of "The Dominion" and even of their foe "The Thraks," has a very comfortable feel. It is like picking up a well thumbed old Robert Heinlein novel, where the characters and their plots are different, but all else feels very familiar.

Very well thought out, however you really have to pay attention to keep track of everything that is going on. I'm the kinda guy that reads for awhile and sets the book down, it was hard for me to remember what was going on.
