Summary: Nohar's back! And are we glad!
Review: Oh,it's so -good- to have another book about Nohar Rajasthan. And this is a real page-turner, too. Body and mind, Nohar is one of the most interesting beings to come up the pike in some time, and I'm really glad to see him back. He takes a lot of punishment in this one, and he's getting old--Swann had better work on that age problem. I'd like to see Nohar go on and on.

Summary: An excelent, if somewhat unnerving, sequel to a great book.
Review: The moreau books can be read individually, but this is the only direct sequel in the series (so far). Picking up about 15 years after the first, things start off bad and only get worse. Swann seems to have a bit of a formula here, and his books are almost predictable in ther chaotic messiness, but you know what? It works.My heart sank when I found out that my favorite part of the first book, Nohar and Stephie's love story, didn't make it. But the book was still next to impossible to put down. I read it and the first book in just a few nights and was exausted. The tension just sucks the life out of you. And if you thought the first book was intense (and painful), HA! You haven't seen anything yet. The punishment Nohar takes in this book is unreal. You practically have bruises just from reading it. Secrets and people from the past emerge to make Nohar's life hell, and as a character I feel that he grows just as much here as he did in the first book. And while the future looks bleaker than ever, there still seems to be a ray of hope.

Summary: An intersting Story
Review: This book had a intersting story and good characters, but the author lacks something as a matured writer. The grammer errors were terrible and I belive that the editor should have fixed this problem! Starting each sentence in a paragraph with the word "he" was just as distracting as the countless (and pointless) to-be verbs. Also, the anti-human babblings was just as annoying as the grammer. Just like the "furry" genre, he goes on saying how bad the humans are when the hybrid cat people are just as human as them. . . probably worse. Though I usually sympathise with the cat-people in these kind of novels, I just couldn't in this one and I couldn't hate the humans either.

Summary: Grity and nasty, but wonderful.
Review: This book is the fourth in a series, but you don't have to have read the others to enjoy this one. The books opens with a bang and ends with one. The twists and turns will keep you guessing, but the author does play fair and gives you all you need to figure out what is going on if you pay attention and read between the lines here and there. This is not a good book to read if you want a pick-me-up. This story is dark and does not paint a very cheerful picture of the world or humanity. I happen to love these sort of books, and Andrew Swann's in particular. As long as you know what your getting into I can't recommend a book much better than this.

Summary: Great Sci-Fi Novel and Good Concept of a "Moreau" Future
Review: This is the first time I have read any of the "Moreau" series by S. Andrew Swann, and I was duly impressed. Nohar Rajasthan is a noble and quixotic character, for I think he is only trying to survive a world where moreaus are only considered 2nd-class citizens by the very beings that created them: humans. The situation that Nohar finds himself in and the subsequent discovery of his "mule" son Manuel is filled with believable tension. The ending is great too, and I hope to read more of Swann's "Moreau" books in the future.

Summary: SuperFuzz
Review: What a great book! I totally enjoyed this from beginning to end. It had just the right amount of suspense, action and humor. As well as wonderful characters. S Andrew Swann truly has created the greatest fantasy world of anthropomorphic creatures to be had anywhere. A great read, animal lovers, members of the Furry Community, sci-fi buffs, everyone should read this book and the rest of the series! Yes, start with Forests of the Night and work from there! Nohar, what a guy, my hero. *siiiigh* Ahem...uhh..err...READ!
