4.0 out of 5 stars soap opera sci-fic, but fun, February 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Requiem for the Conqueror: Forbidden Borders 1 (Paperback)

Yeah this book isn't hard science fiction, but its a fun read if you're in the mood for it. A lot of the characters are pretty shallow, and its basically the equivalent of a kiddy fairy tale. But, unlike some writers of similar fiction (like for instance Piers Anthony), Gear doesn't try to pretend he is writing some deep novel, its just one rambucious, oath swearing, laser shooting, big-boobed chick, wild, story ride that is fun if you're feeling right for it. Don't expect to read another "Childhood's End", expect more kind of a mix between Beverly Hills 90210 and Bonanza.

2.0 out of 5 stars If you're a teen age male you'll love it., December 4, 1998

By A Customer

Gear really knows how to target his audience. If you're a young male (majority of SF readers), i.e. you've got raging hormones corsing through your body and think mostly about sex, you're going to love this series.

Every female character Gear describes is extremely beautiful with a great body. Every male is a buffed, take no prisoners warrior. There's even an avenging lesbian babe in it. What more could a young kid want?!

I found the story line weak and the plot resolution a let down. Gear bounces the from battle to bed to battle to bed, which will grow very tiresome for serious SF readers.

If you're into military SF and sex, buy it. Otherwise, this one is a leaver.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book begins an excellent series of novels., January 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Requiem for the Conqueror: Forbidden Borders 1 (Paperback)

This book is everything that the Star Wars books should be and aren't. The characters are vivid; they are not wimps. Some of them are types, but others have very human problems that relate very clearly to the plot. The story line carries the reader on and has a logic and purpose much stronger than any in those juvenile fantasies. Briefly, anyone looking for an excellent reading experience should investigate this one. This series ranks with those of Simmons and Hamilton.
