I read it and the other 2 in the series.

I thought it was a good book with a interesting ending and believeable characters and the aliens were very interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vang returns!, August 16, 2000

This review is from: The Vang: The Battlemaster (Mass Market Paperback)

Genre of hardcore horror/SF is Rowley's strongest point, although others prefer BattleDragons books. The Battlemaster make you think about scale of Universe, about ancient wars between stars and planets whose distant echo now threaten Humanity by mortal danger. All because of the Vang, protoevil alien species, battle demigods once created huge space empire, but now dethroned and dispersed.

Chris, are you sure that there're no more The Vang beings left around? I don't think so... Oh, god...

This review is from: The Vang: The Battlemaster (Mass Market Paperback)

Christopher Rowley's early works (The Fenrille series and this Vang series) are highly under appreciated, where to begin? I first read these books in the early 1990s, and after a recent re-read, they have all held up extremely well. Tight pacing, believable characters, crime, drugs, sex, Extended Life Programs, and all of it rendered pointless in the face of unexpected alien invasion on a remote colony planet. What more could you want?

Highly recommended! Why haven't some of these books been turned into films? Their stories are far superior to most of the sci-fi trash being churned out these days. The War for Eternity puts Avatar to shame, just as the Vang leaves other alien invasion stories in its wake!
