Author's Post Scriptum in the form of a Prologue,
By A Customer
This review is from: Young Legionary (Hardcover)
Young Legionary is the tale of the life, training and experiences of the youth Keill Randor on his home planet. For any fan of the Last Legionary series this is a fantastic book, especially when considered that it was written after the closure of the series in which this character appears - the finish on the well made product. Well-written, the book fills in the gaps from the original series, documenting the events and people who shaped the life of Keill Randor. It is a satisfying experience, to be likened to learning about the life of Superman on Krypton before it's destruction - a tale which often is left by the roadside, but which all are facinated to know about. Keill Randor suffers the same lonely fate as Clark Kent, the only survivor of his people, only he never finds his new home, and he is left to wander the universe in search of the source that destroyed his world. This is the reason for which Young Legionary is such a valuable book, because in describing the triumphs, trials and pitfalls of the young Keill Randor, it develops him into something which before hand was not as apparent or as complex - "We know the man, but what made him so?" It is melancholic to think about this marvelous world which Hill has created for his character, as it already set that it is doomed to be forever lost. A book for youths or children with good language and description, which can be read before reading any of the series of Last Legionary books, but better read last, as it will renew the original series. It contains a maturity which often lacks in other books for this age group, such as the Hardy Boys, who are sometimes too clean cut, optimistic and ridiculously intelligent for children to imagine as real people. A highly recommendable book, as with all in the same series.
