3.0 out of 5 stars Runs out of steam halfway, November 16, 2005

This review is from: Stellar Ranger (Paperback)

A stellar ranger on an out of the way planet finds himself trying to single handedly stop a drug smuggling ring. While the concept is interesting the story peters out at about the halfway point.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stellar Rangers, August 2, 2002

By 

David Horne (Kingsburg, Ca USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stellar Ranger (Paperback)

A rollicking space opera. High Noon in outer space. The story line is tight and completely believable. Stellar Ranger comes to town to investigate mysterious happenings and finds more than he bargained for. Finds very few will help him but is able to complete his assignment anyway. Steve Perry has a way with words and this novel follows in the tradition of his others. A good read for those who want an entertaining story without an excess of technological wizardry.

Stellar Ranger by Steve Perry

Note, this is not Stellar Ranger Lone Star by the same author.
Steve Perry defies tradition by setting up a plot that depicts a future lawman in a western mode. Oddly enough it works.

Cinch Carston is a lawman of the old school who sees himself as an arbitrator of justice not just a peace maker. One of the more appealing aspects of Perry's characters is a lack of ambivalence. Good is good and bad is bad. This is an older book that may realize a resurrection with Harrison Ford's Cowboys and Aliens movie debuting this summer.

This is not a taxing read but it is entertaining.

I recommend it.
