5.0 out of 5 stars What happened to all the other reviews?, March 22, 2003

First off... if you actually find this book anywhere... *BUY IT!*

Due to major printing screw ups, a very limited number were printed, making books 2 to and 4 of this series rather difficult to find.

The series itself is a true space epic, a Sci Fi space opera par excellance. It blows both Star Trek and Star Wars right out of the water.

In any given century there are writers who define their Genre. In our age such titles have gone to Tolkein for fantasy, King for horror, Clancy, and others. Trowbridge and Smith define the Space Opera.

A DEFINATE must read for anyone who likes good galactic-empire science fiction. Start with Phoenix in Flight, and slog yourself through the first 150 pages (which are SLOW), until the action truly starts... then enjoy!
