Summary: Mack maloney does it again!
Review: Once again Mack Maloney has left me wanting more! Although probably the most unbelievable series I have ever read, once I pick up the next in the series I can't put it down. I do wonder of George Lucas read this one though......

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The new Hunter Adventure continues
Review: The Starhawk series continues with this novel. If you've read my review of the first Starhawk book, you'll know what I'm saying when the evil organization takes clearer form near the end of this book, plus the addition of a new one, The Bad Moon Knights. The same type of plot line that was used in the many of the Wingman books (Free nation/group under the oppression of evil nation/group fights back with the help and inspiration of Hawk Hunter). Now, that's just the basic plotline. It's been said that "God is in the details." and Maloney's details keep you turning page after page.

Hawk Hunter is trying to find his home planet, and the place where he belongs as he's just not comfortable in this new universe. He finds a "pocket universe" where someone is keeping the nations of Earth in such a way that no one can know about it. Once again, Hunter must fight against impossible odds.

Unlike some of Maloney's other books, you would be well advised to read Starhawk (The First book) first. While it uses few of the characters from the first book, Starhawk will give you a good foundation to truly enjoy the second book.

Summary: Exciting, Wonderful ...and Very Strange
Review: This is a very cool sci-fi book. It is filled with the usual non-stop excitement one has come to expect from Mack Maloney. The author paints a sci-fi landscape that manages to combine visions from 1930s-type Flash Gordon sagas right up to Star Wars and beyond. But there is also an X-Files feel to this particular story, especially the middle section, when Hawk and his friends arrive on the long-lost Planet America. Hunter is still a fighter pilot, first and foremost, and his patriotism has not faded one bit. The first part of the book plays like a standard sci-fi story. The second part has the aforementioned X-Files feel, and then, the third part, very strange indeed, is like reading the script to a 1950s sci-fi movie. I'm sure this was the author's intent all along. Three different sci-fi genres rolled into one! I can't wait for the next installment. If there is one thing wrong with Maloney's books it's that the read too fast, and that means we must wait even longer for the next one to come out. If anyone from Hollywood is listening, Starhawk should definitely be made into a movie -- and quick!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: You can never go home .....
Review: This second in the new series of Star Hawk defines the Sci-Fi element the author has taken the Hawk Hunter of Wingman fame. This opus drives us with the same sense of good versus evil, excellent combat action, and a new vein of mind bending concepts from the Sci-Fi kit bag. It is a fast read, leaves the dedicated fan and first timer wanting a little more. The best part of this emerging series is continued from the other book collections: faith in your comrades, country, and cause. It is an underlining theme that makes this reader continue to look forward to each new book. For the new reader I would like to point out the earlier work's of Mack Maloney. In each you will find interlooping characters, events, and themes like wormholes in time travel theories. This is a very strong element to this writers ability. He has put a series of inter related works that can be read in any order and remain highly enjoyable. Where is the next Star Hawk book?
