5.0 out of 5 stars Great book in a great series!, January 18, 1999

By A Customer

I've been an off-and-on reader of Axler's Deathlands series for several years, but I've been with Outlanders from the beginning. Though I've always enjoyed it, the alien angle bothered me. Partly, I couldn't understand why, if the Archon Directorate were so superior and had conquered humanity, we saw only one of them--Balam, who was a prisoner on top of it.Iceblood explains why, and I have to admire Axler for planting all the clues to this revelation from the first book onward.Outlanders really is an action-adventure series for people who don't ordinarily read such things. Iceblood is the perfect example.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better and better, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

Outlanders continues to grow and transend its roots as just another men's adventure series. Iceblood is major turning point and readers who haven't been following the series need to read this one.There is a surprising development about the Archon Directorate and mysteries which have been hinted at the last few books finally come to light--not to mention that a long unanswered question from the Deathlands series is finally answered.But like all the other Outlander books, it is the characters which make this story--from the "Mulder and Scully" like relationship between Kane and Brigid Baptiste to the scheming but still sexy Beth-li to Grant's consistent bad luck (the bad guy drops a whale on him!) to the strangely sad Archon, Balam, who turns out not be such an alien after all.A whole lot of surprising things happen in this book and there is action galore. The fight to the finish between Kane and the sicko villian, Zakat, kept me on the edge of my seat.Also, Iceblood is apparently the lead-in to a trilogy and I can barely wait for it.Outlanders is categorized as "action/adventure". Let me tell you, it's not false advertising!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must agree, December 31, 1998

Not much I can add to the other reviews about this book than agree with them. Excellent, entertaining and even a thought-provoking novel.
