Summary: Exciting expansion of Piper's best series
Review: I have owned a copy of this book for five years, and reread it at least once every month or so, along with my ancient copy of 'Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen', of which it is a sequel. The book deserves to be reprinted, plus, its two sequels, of which only a hint has been published - a chapter in a Jerry Pournelle anthology indicating that all is not well in Hostigos. The characterisations, military lore and exciting plot make this a stand alone novel to be enjoyed on its own merits. We had to wait many years for this sequel, I hope that the authors of these posthumous tributes to Piper's Paratime Universe will soon find publishers for their next works.

Summary: Review of Great King's War
Review: I have read and re-read this book so mant times that I could probably recite it from memory. This book was truly equal to the original story. There is a sequal coming out around Dec 2000 / Jan 2001. John Carr is doing this on his own. To find more information e-mail Otherwhen.com @aol.

Summary: Amazingly wonderfully put together
Review: I have read everything that Mr. Piper and now Mr. Green ever wrote. WHERE is the sequel to this one? These are marvelously funny as well as interesting books!

Summary: God, what a read!
Review: In the top 5 of military sci fic/fantasy books I've ever read! I stumbled across this book years ago and could not believe it was so faithful to the orginal story by H Beam Piper (Lord Kalvin of Otherwhen) Its a fascinating period of Terran history grafted onto a realistic alternate world and done with style and swerve! I have written both Mr Carr & Green about the followup but it seems stalled. Both of them did their research on this one however and it shows. No miracles from the "real" world to help, tons of political intrigue, realistic characters etc etc. For anyone who likes good deep stories and hard realistic fighting will enjoy this read. You can actually smell the gunpowder and hear the thunder crash of steel on steel!

Summary: Styphon take the person who limits this review to 5 stars!
Review: Rarely do sequals live up to the origional, and even rarer still when the sequal is not by the origional author, but Great King's War is as good Piper's origional Lord Kalvin.Fun to read, and so vivid it brings you there, just the origional. I have only two complaints: 1) You can't read it without setting aside a few days, becuase you won't want to put it down. 2) It's out of print. Perhaps someday, Piper's worlds will be back in print.

Summary: Excellent alternative history! H. Beam Piper would be proud.
Review: This is a very rare book,There are a very few Alternative histories novels which approach the feel of this novel. It is a sequel to "Lord Kalvan Of Otherwhen" by H. Beam Piper. I feel it is just as good or maybe better than the original.
