4.0 out of 5 stars An Exercise in Character Development
"Laidanwe," Tlelai said, "The one who brings what must come." Gabriel looked at him. "Harbinger," he said.

That just made my heart skip a beat, as I truly knew that the character that I have grown to love in the past 700 pages or so, has begun to develop into a real human being.

Duane has a real knack of bringing character to...

3.0 out of 5 stars The second of this series satisfies
Although not truly inspiring, the book remains consistant with the first one where our hero attempts saving another group of aliens against the malicious company.

Also of interest, we find out more about the mysterious ghost ships, and exactly what the luck stone is.

Duane has a real knack of bringing character to life, giving them personalities that make them just jump out of the page and into your imagination. It's like their real people.

Storm is an excellent new installment of the Harbinger trilogy. In it, we meet new characters and see the reoccurence of many old ones, as well as a nice way to show first contact with an alien species that communicates, shall we say, "strangely" at best.

My only gripe is that there are a few sections where Connor spends too much time milling over ideas and thoughts in his head... a bit more action would make the book sizzle!

I would recommend it to anyone who likes good SF, especially the Star Drive setting in particular.
