4.0 out of 5 stars Same Series, a different feel, November 29, 2010

I thought Starfishers, the second book in the Starfishers series by Glen Cook, was a pretty good read. It kind of took me by surprise as it went off in a completely different direction than Shadowline, the first book in the series. The series switched main characters from Masato "Mouse" Storm to Moyshe benRabi. This was a little unexpected as it really seemed like the emphasis of the first book was to get to know Mouse and the events which had shaped his life into the wanton hatred he had for his enemies. Instead, we are presented with a man who is at a bit of a loss as to how he came to be in his position, a little ashamed of what he has been forced to do, and all in all more than a little morose. Mouse is still a prominent character, but he is no longer the narrator.

Where Shadowline was about a sense of impending doom, a passing of an era, and most of all the story of characters learning to hate and to soak in the need for revenge, Starfishers was a book which dealt with learning to trust, to feel and to finally fit in.

I'm very interested to see where things go from here.

4.0 out of 5 stars notable departure from form of first book, a good read, July 29, 2006

this book is a notable departure from the byzantine political and familial entanglements of Shadowline, becoming a much more straight forward Cook military sci-fi story with some mystery elements involved. It brings one character forward, Mosato Storm, from shadowline, along with his colleague, as they work for Fleet Intelligence to penetrate the starfishers.

Great Cook work, can only find it used though.

This isn't as good as the first and last books in the trilogy, but it's still pretty good.

Nice space dragons . . . as good as Fred Hoyle's, other things being equal.
