4.0 out of 5 stars Starstrikers brings fun back to sci-fi, March 18, 2009
By 
This review is from: Starstrikers: From The Galaxy Collision Series (Paperback)
Ken McConnell's novel brings a refreshing as well as nostalgic approach to the realm of space operas. The characters are easily identifiable and I definitely felt that the character development is definitely a strong point of his writing. In this story, nothing is rushed but at the same time nothing is slow as the reader is introduced to a variety of characters and situations that continue to grow page after page. The technical detail applied is also a plus. I found the settings as far as the plot and the action towards the end of the book very well done. I also have to say I it is a book that has enough going on that I would not mind re-reading it in the future, and that says a lot. Overall a great first novel by McConnell and I look forward to reading his work in the future, and hopefully seeing some of these characters in his future works!

4.0 out of 5 stars Real page turner, October 17, 2008
This review is from: Starstrikers: From The Galaxy Collision Series (Paperback)
I had a hard time putting this one down. I really enjoyed Starstrikers, and look forward to the next installment. He's got a great universe full of memorable characters. I especially enjoyed the technology and constant development taking place. If you pick up a copy, you'll have a hard time putting it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Starstrikers is a must read!, October 17, 2008
This review is from: Starstrikers: From The Galaxy Collision Series (Paperback)
Startstrikers is a highly recommended book; I found it to be a fresh new twist on a Space Opera series that provides good hooks into a bold new world that is gritty, action packed and adventurous. The story line is excellent and well thought out. It encapsulates good use of scientific theory and imagination; all while delivering strong characters that are fascinating and motivational to the cause. Each chapter continued to slowly draw me nearer to what I was hoping to be a grand finally, with and explosive conclusion, but at the end I was left with a strong addiction for wanting more. Beware; this series is going to get your senses and tap your curiosity in ways that go well beyond the average thought process. If you like Space stories this is as good as it gets.
