5.0 out of 5 stars May does it again, September 20, 2001
By jrmspnc (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews
Julian May has a serious problem. She is such a wonderful writer, her plots, her style . . . . everything is at such a high level that her readers have come to expect nothing less than perfection from her. Certainly, I expected perfection when I began to read Sagitarius Whorl. I didn't find perfection, but nor did I find any thing less than pure enjoyment.
This book, and the series as a whole, has everything that makes science fiction worthwhile. An intriguing plot with many twists and turns, a compelling yet not entirely sympathetic hero, sex, violence, and a vision of a humanity that continues to grow, mature, and slowly begins to eschew greed for humaneness and concern for the common weal.
In some ways, this series is more accessible than the Pliocene and Galactic milieu epics, but it is no less compelling. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Conclusion, January 9, 2001
By "montizuma" (New York) - See all my reviews
The Sagittarius Whorl is an amazingly well thought out, interesting, and thought provoking conclusion to Julian May's Rampart World Trilogy. Julian May is quite well known to many sci-fi junkies, and this trilogy of intergalactic corporate control, alien demiclones, and the one man willing to fight for right can't fail to please her old fans while concurrently drawing in new fans. While some may say that the story of an intergalactic cowboy fighting personal and political injustice is somewhat cliche, May manages to not only make it fresh, but to make it so intriguing i couldn't even put the book down. This is a great story that even has relevance to the increasingly corporate world of today. Buy this book, buy this series, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even more unpredictable twists!, February 3, 2001
By Joshua Jasper (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Sagittarius Whorl lived up to the Rampart World's books' trend for twists, twirls, ups, downs and cliffhangers. This book was different from the others, though. Asa Frost (He's not Helmut Icicle anymore in my mind) has had his character change and grow. May's tendency to play with style, timeline and perspective grew in this book as well. Much of the book is narrated in such a way that the future is known, but may manages to still kick the struts out from under expectations of *when* the events the reader knows about will happen. The result is a surprise that isn't a surprise, which is an good trick.
