Summary: Reading this is like mainlining endorphines
Review:
I've just finished this book, and fireworks are still going off in my head. I've never been more swept up by a work of literature as I was by this. The author delivers a book that covers 7,000 years of history, billions of years after Earth's sun goes nova. This is the story of humanity's second chance, under the most unlikely and mind-blowing cause. It won't let you go, from beginning to end. Totally original and mind-blowing. Filled with philosphy about life, death, and time, this is one of the most uplifting sci-fi action adventures ever written.

Summary: Absolutely astonishing!!
Review: A.A.Attanasio is my favourite author, and this is my favourite of his novels. After 3 reads, I am still amazed at the breadth of imagination needed to create it. We jump back and forth thousands of years, but it all makes perfect sense. We get lots of ingeneous subplots along the way, and are left with many fond memories of the amazing characters and events. This book is the best challenger to 'Lord of the Rings' I have ever read (of course, nothing will ever beat Tolkiens masterpiece!). So read this book, it is a breathtaking achievement that will live with you ever after!

Summary: Mind-blowing Prose
Review: As a rule I will not touch Fantasy and this one had several elements of fantasy - the ridiculous, unpronouncable names, the wild beasts, castles, etc But it was packed with science fiction ideas - indeed, it was a mesmerizing, visionary work that seemed written in an exalted, transcendent state.
First of all, the premise was startling. To reassemble living creatures that had been dead for 2 billion years from traces of burned DNA was just so...original. And what made such an impact was how "human" our makers turned out to be and what literal devils the spider foes were. There has never been a more sinister enemy, none more horrifying (the slasher monsters look tame in comparison). For once, the author does not attempt to show understanding or concern or empathy for such evil creatures but treats them like the unimaginable horror they are. The love affair was wonderful as was the story of the female explorer (the alien) who came to not only understand but empathize and finally side with humanity. The understated character of the story was the captured school teacher who alternated between moments of temporary memory and sorrow and excruciating torture. The novel was a grand experiment that succeeded mightily.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: Attanasio has spoiled me. Even since reading Radix in 1984, I've been hooked. No other author comes close to conjuring the images that Attanasio creates in his work. Last Legends of Earth is simply one of his best.

Summary: Could be the best book I ever read.
Review: Even after the fourth time read, this novel still thrills me again and again. An amazing mixture of hard sci-fi, action-adventure, quest, and love story, I highly recommend this book along with the rest of the Radix Tetrad. My only regret is that the author doesn't write more!

Summary: Exploring the outer boundries of imagination!
Review: Every time I see this book on it's shelf, I am drawn to it. Nowhere have I seen, or heard of, a more fantastic literary work. I have tried endlessly to find the other books in the series, (In Other Worlds and Arc Of The Dream), in bookstores, so that I may know the whole story. I can only say, try to find these books yourselves, as if your life depended on it. it's that good!
