About the author

Considered one of the most prolific writers working in modern fiction, USA Today bestselling writer Dean Wesley Smith published far more than a hundred novels in forty years, and hundreds of short stories across many genres.
At the moment he produces novels in several major series, including the time travel Thunder Mountain novels set in the Old West, the galaxy-spanning Seeders Universe series, the urban fantasy Ghost of a Chance series, a superhero series starring Poker Boy, and a mystery series featuring the retired detectives of the Cold Poker Gang.
His monthly magazine, Smith’s Monthly, which consists of only his own fiction, premiered in October 2013 and offers readers more than 70,000 words per issue, including a new and original novel every month.
During his career, Dean also wrote a couple dozen Star Trek novels, the only two original Men in Black novels, Spider-Man and X-Men novels, plus novels set in gaming and television worlds. Writing with his wife Kristine Kathryn Rusch under the name Kathryn Wesley, he wrote the novel for the NBC miniseries The Tenth Kingdom and other books for Hallmark Hall of Fame movies.
He wrote novels under dozens of pen names in the worlds of comic books and movies, including novelizations of almost a dozen films, from The Final Fantasy to Steel to Rundown.
Dean also worked as a fiction editor off and on, starting at Pulphouse Publishing, then at VB Tech Journal, then Pocket Books, and now at WMG Publishing, where he and Kristine Kathryn Rusch serve as series editors for the acclaimed Fiction River anthology series.

Basically "Prophet's Power" is designed the same way as "Hard Crash" in the sense that the chapters switch between the two different time frames according to the Skaarj occupation of Na Pali. So we have all the same characters from the first occupation like Haute and Ablee; and from the second occupation with Zofia, Melnori and Gerrick. However, this book entirely takes place prior to "Hard Crash" and is really the story of how everyone kind of met and got together in order to fight against the Skaarj. Reading this first would have made the initial chapters of the first novel seem a lot less random and the bridge between books would have been very seamless. Naturally this story moves a lot slower and has way more character development than we ever found in the fast paced novel of "Hard Crash". I think this is where I had a huge problem, "Hard Crash" was basically the climax of the story line, so the reader is all revved up and excited to read more fast paced action... then we get to this. Don't get me wrong, the character development in this novel definitely made up for the lack of it in "Hard Crash", but this book simply didn't move fast enough for me. My base expectations of an action packed novel were already set by "Hard Crash", but this one didn't come close to delivering the same amount. There is some action, but there just isn't nearly enough and it really feels like this novel plods along by comparison.
Overall I think this novel is better written, but it got ruined because of its placement. It includes a few more of the creatures you'll find on Na Pali, but not nearly enough to resemble the amount you see in the game. This novel also falls into all the same trappings of the previous book, where the aliens just seem like humans the whole time, but physically look different. This definitely isn't ground breaking Science Fiction by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm really not sure if it truly captures the feel and atmosphere of the game that well. Alright reading, but if you really want to get into these, get this one first.
Overall Rating: 2.5 out of 5
anybody know were i can find number one??
thnx
