5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful ending to the best series I've ever read!!, September 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The War in Heaven (Mass Market Paperback)

In War in Heaven, Zindell has Danlo wi soli Ringess return to his home planet of Neverness to face his former best friend but now arch-enemy Hanuman. In what has become classic Zindell style, the prose is just the most flowing yet intense stuff there is - you'll totally get lost in the characters and in the writing. This book was a little more like The Broken God than The Wild, in that it is a little less sci-fi and more like a fantasy plot with larger-than-life characters in a small setting. I'd recommend anyone, sci-fi fan or not, to read this series. I should also note that if one does read any of these books, they are really meant to be read in order - it would be a little hard to understand what was going on in this book without having read The Broken God and then The Wild first. Five stars from me!!

This review is from: The War in Heaven (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of the, if not THE, most philosophical series that I have ever read. Sit back and enjoy, while at the same time ponder on how you see your life. I have read the series twice already and will read it all again in another 5 years or so. I realize that this is a review of the whole series but I think that every book in the series is worth 5 stars. This really is a MUST read for all serious readers of sci-fi or anyone that wishes to think about the path on which they tread through this life. Honestly and truly a Requiem for Homo Sapiens.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most enthralling science fiction epic of all time!, January 8, 1999

This review is from: The War in Heaven (Mass Market Paperback)

Within the past year I managed to acquire and read Neverness and the Requiem for Homo Sapiens. I must say in all the years I've read science fiction, no book or series of books has affected me as deeply as The Broken God and War in Heaven. The sequences between Danlo and Hanuman Li Tosh are both heartbreaking and mesmerizing. Highly recommended for anyone who likes their science fiction with a dose of philosophy and beautiful imagery.
