4.0 out of 5 stars Like David Drake, but better, June 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Target (Paperback)

This is a pretty good book. It moves along like the best stuff David Drake has written, but also has a believable story line, an attempt at credible female characters and a serious attempt at alien Aliens.

It describes First Contact with first one Alien species and then another, and the war between these two. Assumes the human species has gotten to the moon but is still dominated by the face-off between US and USSR.

NB: 0-441-79817-9 is the Ace paperback

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but very tasteless, May 25, 2009

This review is from: Target (Paperback)

I read this around my last week of seventh grade, not knowing that it was full of gratuitous obscenity. It's an archetypal sci-fi B-grade novel. The first contact story is interesting, but most of the human characters are (a)sleazy, (b)jerks.
