BLAST FROM THE PAST
Ten years had passed since mankind had won the Great War. The dreaded Al'ar, loathsome aliens who killed by mere sight or touch, had been vanquished. Now they were gone, forgotten, and humanity was free to expand throughout the galaxy.
But one man remembered. Joshua Wolfe had been a hero of the Great War. He had lived with the Al'ar first as a friend and then as a prisoner. He knew their ways, knew their disciplines, knew how to kill as they killed.
And Joshua Wolfe was the only man who knew that the conflict was not over.
Before the Great War, in a time of friendship, the Al'ar had given him a name: Shadow Warrior. Now he would fulfill its lethal promise...

This was an incredible read! I have followed Chris Bunch with the Sten series and was not disappointed in the least by this Shadow Warrior series. In fact, I loved the book. This is a must-read for anyone who followed the Sten series

3.0 out of 5 stars The war is endend but Josh Wolf knows that it hasen't, November 3, 1999

This review is from: Wind After Time (Mass Market Paperback)

Wind After Time is a sci-fiction book about a prisoner of war who knows secrets about earths enemy. It's a good book, but the author ( chris bunch) has parts that are very slow. Some parts aren't even neccesary for the book and some parts of the book end appruptly. The attention to detail is outstanding, because when the book is describing an action going on or a person in the book you can get a clear picture in your mind of what is happening. I feel that chris Bunch is a good aothor who needs to speed up his book and if he would leave out the parts that aren't important to the story he would be a more well know author. He has a great imagination and does great with the dtails of the story, but he makes books that are mostly slow for the average reader. Overall it was a average book that with a little more action could have been a great book.
