5.0 out of 5 stars Slaver's Challenge - A great read!, October 24, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Slaver's Challenge (Paperback)

Get this book! This one's a grabber. Sword play and battle scenes abound. There is not a chapter in here that fails to satisfy. The writing is clean and the book reads very easily and smoothly which might have to do with the bigger size of it that allows bigger type than most paperbacks. The characters were great. The good characters are not a bunch of goody-two shoes types but have enough flaws and quirks to make them believable and the bad guys are very, very bad. It looks like there might even be room for a sequel. Start a write in campaign now for this guy and don't miss this one. I liked it a lot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Slaver's Challenge, January 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Slaver's Challenge (Paperback)

This was my first science fiction adventure in many years and found the experience wonderful. The futuristic language and settings provided a challenge, but the author helped this with both a dictionary and glossary. Once I was used to the settings and story line, I became totally obsessed with finishing the book. The ending was unknown until the last moment. The author discribes the scenes so well that the reader feels part of the action. I am waiting for the return of the Slaver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Adventure, September 18, 2001

I am not (or was not) particularly a science fiction fan, but this book was more of an adventure with some sci-fi setting. This book just got better as it went. The further I read, the more interesting the characters and the plot became. I particularly enjoyed the change from a futuristic world to a pre-industrial world, and back again. The battle and fighting scenes were particularly exciting and well done without being gratuitously graphic.
