Summary: Alien invasions of epic proportions
Review: David Gerrold writes some of the best and most human science
fiction to date. In case you didn't know, his career started
when he penned Star Trek's famous "The Trouble with Tribbles"
episode. This book is the 4th in the War against the Chtorr series.
I was not a big of Alien Invasion style books until I read this.
Independance Day has nothing on the excitement found in
this series of books. The unique twist in this book is that
the invaders are attacking our environment. Giant plants
and insects are slowly crushing earth's flora and fauna.
The book paints an incredible world being slowly suffocated.
The hero (with all too human frailties) finds himself
on a fantastic zepplin careening over a deadly amazon jungle.

Summary: Worth the wait!
Review: David Gerrold's continuing homage to Robert Heinlein is gettingbetter with age. A fascinating, sometimes terrifying, and consistentlythought provoking series jells nicely with the fourth book. The wedding scenes on the airship Bosch were very reminiscent of Heinlein's penchant for describng a good meal and other often overlooked basic pleasures of life. About the only negatives are the fact that you must ABSOLUTELY read the first three books to have a clue as to what's going on in this one and waiting on the 5th (and possibly 6th) book.

Summary: Read it: Read them ALL!
Review: David Gerrold's War Against the Chtorr series continues. If you haven't read them--read them now. Not just alien invasion, but intrigue, politics, and high tech warfare..even a little love enters the plot. If that's not enough, there are also some great limericks in vol. 3

Summary: Don't go the way of Tolkien. Finish your work!
Review: Don't worry, everyone. The human race survives. Gerrold alludes to this in several of his later works such as "A Covenent of Justice" where a Chtorran worm makes a guest apperance from Earth's past. The worm is enslaved by a mutated race of humans that I deduce learned to mutate from the worms. The last epoch that I read was Zelazny's Amber series in the 70's. I had to wait years for him to publish each book and swore off reading any more epochs. Unfortunately I found one that was too good to ignore and now I'm back in the same boat.

Summary: STAY TUNED
Review: Has dg written the human race into an inescapeable corner? The answers lie,I think, in the mind of our hero's father, what happened to Duke, the telepath network and the origins of the Chtorr. Will the race still be human? Or will we be "better dead than red"

Summary: Building to a climax
Review: I agree with most of the above, but I guess it's only fair to mention that, though the book is very intense as far as discovering more about the aliens goes (riveting detail - where does he think it up), there are quite a few events in the book that strike me as irrelevant, and quite frankly, unnecessary. The end was a bit of an anti -climax too (though granted, about ten times better than most other author's climaxes!).
But what I did like the most was the love expressed between the Tirelli and Jim.
By the way, Mr. Gerrold should be severely chastised for using the expression "It's dead, Jim." Ouch!
To new readers - This is what internally consistent stories are all about.
To old fans - Patience seems to be the order of the day. Can't wait for my next dose of Mode training

Summary: Biggest piece of shlock I have ever read
Review: I enjoyed the first book in the series. Then I enjoyed the second a little less, and the third even less. But this book just brings the series to a new low. If you can stand whole chapters of Jim and "Lizard" chattering endlessly but accomplishing nothing, you may like this book. The main trouble with this book is that hardly anything happens. The main events in this book that advance the plot along could have been dealt with in one chapter. I won't be buying any more of this series, and I recommend that you don't buy this one either. I can't understand all the positive reviews here.

Summary: OUTSTANDING !!!
Review: I first began this series in 1988. I have been following it for more that 1/3 of my life. It is my secret affair, it totally satisfies-- yet leaves me yearning for more. The best thing I can say about these books is "READ THEM!!" They are a joy, the author has definitely created a work of art that is absolutely captivating.... Thank you David...I have enjoyed your work.
