5.0 out of 5 stars
Maybe the best in the whole series!, May 23, 2003

This review is from: Talon and Fang (Outlanders #25) (Mass Market Paperback)
Talon and Fang could be one of the best in the whole series so far. It has one of the most original plots of them all of the ones I've read. Along with the action it has lots of heartbreak too. I can't wait for the next one in this two parter.

One the best if not THE best, May 9, 2003

Wow! I was hoping for something a little special when I started reading "Talon and Fang" but I wasn't quite expecting the wild ride that this novel contained. One of the things I've always enjoyed about Outlanders is how the series can be unpredictable and this book really surprises the reader.
Most of it takes place over 25 years in the future and things are a lot different and not very good different either. Kane's life has been for the most part filled with tragedy and that in turn has made him bitter and unstable. He has a plan to change his present in the past but for it to work he has to convince his most deadly enemy to help him. Longtime readers probably can guess who this is.
The author introduces a great new female character, Tanvirah, who is seductive, beautiful and deadly. And there is also Sam, the Imperator and he's a much more subtle, much more dangerous adversary than he has been before. He more or less conquered the world 20 years before, now he wants to conquer time and space and his plan is such that actually might able to do it!
There are so many high points to cover in this novel: a great villain, heightened motivation, heart-breaking revelations, sharp characterizations, super-fast-paced plot, and varied action sequences...sword fights, Manta and Dragonfly aerial duels, SPIDES, kung-fu fighting-- add all them together and you have one of the best, if not THE best Outlanders novels yet published. I'm dying for the follow-up of Heart of the World, Sea of Plague.
This book is a must-read for any fan..and I really like the cover too!

A freash look, September 17, 2003
This review is from: Talon and Fang (Outlanders #25) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are tired of the hum-drum watered down mess that the "Deathlands" serise has become well then my friends this is the book for you.
Set in the future with nost of the Cerburus warriors dead or aged this book provides a freash spin on things.
Kane (old now) wants to find some way to get back and warn his old friends of all that will take place in order to do so he has to walk into the very belly of the beast. Lets just hope he hasn't lost his edge.
My Impression-Great book, how one central point is resolved is very inventive!! Well worth the money.
