Summary: Another enjoyable WC book from Mr. Forstchen...
Review: As an avid Wing Commander fan for a few years now, I was excited when this new book addition to the fantasitc literature series came out in January. The opening was nothing spectacular, but when I was reunited with Jason and all of the other characters I know so well I felt at home again. I just wish Hunter, who had died in Fleet Action, was there along with Paladin, but that was a small price to pay for nonstop action, evil aliens, and intergalactic political intrigue. Granted, False Colors wasn't the best WC book in the series, but it was a good installment by the WC literature king, Bill Forstchen. I only give it four stars because I missed Paladin.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: I thought this book was great. It was full of action and is really a good addition to the series. At the beginning it really didn't seem to fit in and the middle was a little slow, but the ending was superb.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cool!!
Review: In this book in the wing commander series we see the confederation winding down from the kilraith war. All is not rosy because the war has not stooped on the border worlds and their leaders feel that this is being allowed to happen to keep them dependent on the rest of the confederation. Is that really what is happening? Well you have to read it to find out

Summary: The true story behind the end of the Kilrathi war is told.
Review: Jason Bondarevsky of past Forstchen novels returns, along with Sparks, Tolwyn, and even Doomsday, teaming with the Landreich to use a captured Kilrathi supercarrier against independent Kilrathi warlords unwilling to surrender after the destruction of Kilrah. Very well done, written like Fleet Action.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Somewhere between "kinda bad" and "sorta not good"
Review: Not a great paring. William and Andrew Keith are alright, but Forstchen needs to be stopped. Please don't let him litter any more Wing Commander books with his hackneyed dialogue and one-dimensional characters. The words "civilized warfare" disqusted me more then anything. War may be occasionally fought for a good cause, but NEVER fool yourself into thinking it's civilized (even if it's fought in 3068 or whenever the hell this story takes place. Other then that, False Colors is probably one of the better books in the Wing Commander universe. Better then Fleet Action and The Price of Freedom, but then again, that's not saying much.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The end of the beginning
Review: This book is set just after the end of the Kilrathi war. Kilrah's surface has been utterly devastated by the Temblor bomb. The offical representatives of the Kilrathi government surrendered; the other clans split and began fighting amongst themselves. Once again, (as in the truce of 2668) the war weary people of the Confederation have been quick to demobilise and declare peace. But a Kilrathi warlord has other plans. It falls to Admiral Tolywn and a small group of brave men and women to hold the front line.

Something happened to Geoffrey Tolwyn in the years between the Kilrathi war and the Border Worlds conflict (the setting for Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom) that dramatically changed the admiral, with disastrous consquences for mankind. This book offers the first hint of what caused a man of Tolwyn's stature and accomplishment to fall from grace. That is a small part of the book, however, and even if you aren't interested in Tolwyn specifically you can still enjoy the storyline. This book is far superior to Forstchen's prequel "Action Stations", which I didn't rate very highly.

I look forward to the next book, which will hopefully bridge the gap between Heart of The Tiger and The Price of Freedom.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: This book is very well done and fills in the gap between Wing Commander Heart of the Tiger & W.C. The Price of Freedom.It also brings some of our Heroes back from W.C. Fleet Action & W.C. End Run. This is a great series & you'll enjoy it even if you don't play the computer games...

Summary: Absolutely action packed.
Review: This book is very well done. It keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way through. Once you start you'll find it impossible to start. It clarifies a lot about the series after the war has ended.
