Brian Daley (Author), James Luceno (Editor)

Book Description

Series: Gammalaw, Book 2 | Publication Date: March 28, 1998

Galactic war was simple . . . win or die

Arrival on the ominous planet of Aquamarine was a splashdown into danger and death for Periapt high priestess Dextra Haven and her ragtag force of scientists and Ext warriors. Yet Dextra was undeterred, certain that Aquamarine held the key to peace between humans and a fierce alien race.

But the priestess and her mighty warriors would need to summon all their powers, for the sea-planet was rife with many deadly mysteries--and conquerors both seen and unseen lurked in cyberspace and outer space waiting to invade, possess, and destroy. . . .

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"The location and technology of future wars may change dramatically but soldiers of every era will recognize the warriors Brian Daley so vividly portrays in this realistic, exciting, and though-provoking saga. From the opening paragraph--perhaps the most skilled lead into any combat story yet written--to the conclusion, this is SF at its best."

--Lt. Col. Michael Lee Lanning, US ARmy (Ret.), author of The Only War We Had, Inside the LRRP's, and Inside Force Recon.

This review is from: Screaming Across the Sky: Book 2 of Gamma Law (Gammalaw, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

Eventhough this is not an earth-shattering book, volume II of Gammalaw is thoughtfully written. The book is much easier to read than volume I. The plot is well developed and the story flows smoothly. One gets a feeling for the chatacters in the book, various settings, and problems they have to overcome to survive. I am eager to read the other volumes in this series!
