The basic story is simple enough. The eco-warriors are led by a beautiful woman who has some telepathic contact with the planet's most dangerous creatures. (Of course, they're not so bad once you get to know them.) They defend the world against the rapacious invaders, whose attack ships are "quick, deadly, and they waste fuel." Wow. What a stunning indictment of the army that's blowing your home to rubble with you in it.

The artwork - the reason I picked this up - is generally attractive airbrush work. Female figures (clad, if it matters) are drawn with affection. Airbrush makes some problems very easy, though, and the problems are apparent here. Way too many edges turn fuzzy, and people's skin often takes a waxy look.

It's a quick, enjoyable read, but ultimately forgettable.

I have been basically addicted to Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire for a long time. So I felt this would be very exciting. Only problem is there were some flaws. Some of the game's highest technology was used in the very first part of the post-Planetfall years. And charcters said uhmm to much. Other than that it was pretty good. I want more. But I think there should be more factions included.
