"Like Arthur C. Clarke and Greg Bear ... brilliantly balanced seesaw between enormous concept and lifesize characterisation".

Read "Convergent Series" First,
By A Customer
This review is from: Transvergence (Heritage Universe) (Mass Market Paperback)
This series is an excellent series, but the title shifting and confusion that has been done in the reprinting of it is unfortunate. The first two books in the series, "Summertide" and "Divergence" were reprinted as a double book in October 1998 called "Convergent Series". This was an unfortunate choice of name since the fourth book of the series is named "Convergence" and it appears together with the third book of the series "Transcendence" in a double book released in November 1999 named "Transvergence", the book subject to this review.

The Heritage Universe,
By "bargtx" (Granite Shoals, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Transvergence (Heritage Universe) (Mass Market Paperback)
Agree this is an excellent series. Readers should also be aware that the first three books were published by Guild America books under the title "The Heritage Universe".

Dropped Into the Middle of a Series,
By A Customer
This review is from: Transvergence (Heritage Universe) (Mass Market Paperback)
First off, before you even consider picking up this title, you need to be aware of the fact that Transvergence is the reprinting of the 3rd and 4th volumes of 'The Convergent Series.' Unfortunately the 1st and 2nd parts of this series are currently out of print (although I believe this will change with the release of Convergent Series in June 2000) and as such the reader is essentially dropped into the middle of an ongoing story.That aside, Transvergence is actually an enjoyable read by itself. Having missed out on the first part of the series the reader has to catch up with the various characters and situations of the story, but there is usually enough recapping done to bring you up to speed. The only complaint I have is that after reading the first part of Transvergence the second part tends to follow the same predictable plotline. Heroes go separate ways->Heroes have adventures->Heroes come back together under extraordinary circumstances. All in all though the storylines are good even though they do feel somewhat rushed towards the finales. You may want to wait and see if the first part of the series is reprinted before picking this book up, but if you can get past that then Transvergence is actually a good way to kill an afternoon.
