3.0 out of 5 stars A good future space yarn with some interesting philosophy., March 19, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Warriors of Spider (Spider Trilogy, No 1) (Paperback)

In the future, out in space, six hundred years after the Directorate has taken over the care of mankind on planets and stations there is no war. One planet called World by its people who are descendants of crash-landed American Indian tribes is beyond the edge of inhabited space. They call their God Spider. And, they are warriors.

The story flows well and pulled me along. I had a gripe about some word choices but, they were only a minor distraction.

I am looking forward to the other two books.

I read the book years ago, but it's still one of my all-time favorites. Interesting and thoughtful philsophy, lots of action, lots of mystery and adventure. The first book is good, and the rest of the series just gets better and better.

i READ THIS BOOK AS WELL AS THE OTHER TWO OF THE TRILOGY AND I THOUGHT IT GOT BETTER AND BETTER. IT WAS A VERY DIFFERENT LOOK AT SPACE SCI-FI OPERA IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT. THE CHARACTERS ARE FUN AND THE ACTION IS WELL WRITTEN.
