Summary: Review of Orion among the stars
Review: I read this book a year before my first year in college. I definitely recommend this book for anyone that enjoyed books like "Starship Troopers", "Forever War" and etc. "Orion Among the stars" is a book in the same grain as those. The book is military sci-fi (the best type of fiction of course).

Summary: Captivating
Review: I read this book last year and I still think about how well written it was, I absolutely loved every page. I mean the plot is great with real characters that put you at the edge of your seat. The action parts are fairly descriptive and there is some great ideas put into the plot. Overall excellent story, I will treasure this book dearly. I recommend you read it, it's fabulous. A great sci-fi read. Try it!

Summary: Where'd it go?
Review: It's a real shame that this, perhaps the best instalment in the Orion series, is out of print. In my mind either this or the first Orion is the best of the bunch--and quite possibly Bova's best (Though "Sam Gunn, Unlimited" is a heck of a lot of fun, and admitedly I havent gotten around to a few of Bova's more notable works yet). This novel moves the story arc off Earth and away from some of the repetitiveness that was creeping into the series (Am I the only one who theought "...Conqueror" and "...Dying Time" covered exactly the same ground?).Anyhow, you should at least read the first two books before this, and if you are a Bova fan and find a used copy, snap it up and stick it on your shelf until you can. ...And with such a strong latest instalment I find myself hoping for another...

Summary: Orion finally makes it into the "future"
Review: Orion Among the Stars is the first Orion novel set entirely in the future. Orion leads a band of cloned soldiers in a galactic civil war that pits Creator against Creator. In this novel Orion is again out of place, but this time he does not have the advantage of his understanding of the future to help him in his battles. The story's action is just as strong as the previous 4 Orion books, but Bova introduces some unique new ideas in this book, such as cloned soldiers who are frozen between battles and do not have the rights one would expect human beings to have. In one interesting sequence Orion is arguing with an old time Army officer that the soldiers deserve a batter life, while the officer cannot get over the idea that they were cloned to be warriors and they are somewhat less than human. Obviously, this parallels Orion's own existence. Bova also introduces the idea that there are other species in the galaxy with more power than even the Creators, and those advanced species do not want to get involved in the petty disputes of the less advanced species. This acts as a reminder that the Creators themselves are descended from humans, because their strongest desire is for war and domination. Sadly, this is the last Orion novel and while Bova ended it on the same note of continuation, it does not look like Orion will be resurrected anytime soon.

Summary: Action is good; a little less brooding by central char.
Review: The Orion series has been around for quite some time and I've found the science to be plausible, and the action is nonstop. Orion's brooding over the woman he can't have is a bit overdone.
