3.0 out of 5 stars Not the Worst, May 4, 2006
By W. Boyd (Down South) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is certainly not the worst Science Fiction book. It may not win any awards, but the action is decent, the character development is so-so, and the story is mildly interesting. Octagon was the first Saberhagen book I read, and it made me think that I would like to read something else by him.

2.0 out of 5 stars Saberhagen's Worst, January 21, 2007
By Judah (Terre Haute In USA) - See all my reviews
Plotting and character wise, Octagon was decent. The novel didn't actually end. A final page of text, right in the middle of the action is followed by the back cover. I actually tracked down a second copy of this novel to verify it had no end, and it wasn't a strange printing error with my copy.

I hate novels without a resolution at the end, and Octagon was the first Science Fiction novel to bail on me. Don't let this happen to you.

Read anything else from Saberhagen (his Books of Swords were good), but avoid this. I liked the story, but hated the novel because you never know what happens to everyone in the end. This novel has no sequel I was able to find.

1.0 out of 5 stars so insanely stupid, February 3, 2005
By louise (california) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Octagon (Paperback)
there's no description, so... it's about a computer and an RPG, and the guy who goes to stop the evil supercomputer. worst scifi book next to Dune (yes, i hate Dune. so kill me.)
