Summary: Cinematic Near Future Action Bonanza!!!!
Review: This book, the first in a trilogy of books really stands on its own as one of the most exciting reads I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy. It features the Paratwa Reemul, AKA the Liege Killer, a creature with two bodies but one mind. Set loose like a wolf among the sheep in a peaceful future, the authorities must awaken the ultimate Paratwa hunter to stop it. But what they awken may be worse that Reemul himself. If you like action this one is a must read, it's a real page turner. The followups move a little slower but build nicely on the foundation laid in this book. You'll definitely want more when you finish this one!

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This is an above average book with some good characters and plot lines. Book reminds me a lot of Streetlethal and Gorgon Child by Barnes(?). This series of books could almost pass for a future sequal to those books. This book fits in the cyberpunk genre well. It does not require too much thought, and for a book that I picked up from reading its back, I don't feel disappointed at all

Summary: BEST SCI-FI EVER WRITTEN
Review: This is easily my favorite book. The reader is introduced to a new kind of deadly assasain, one who can be in two places at once and kill with ten times the ferocity. My only wish is that a hollywood director reads this book and makes the film. Read this book. Excellent story line. Excellent plot. A joy to read.

Summary: Good start but the rest of the series dissappoints
Review: This opening novel of a space opera sets up an interesting world and is based on an interesting idea. In this world earth is destroyed in a biological and nuculear war and humanity has moved to colonies in orbit. A deadly killer has been released by earths old enemies. Killers that are superhumans enties that have two bodies controled by the same mind. This book introduces several interesting characters. More importanly the book gets the mood and setting right. The characters move around in style and the story flows well. This book is really a modern dime novel, with the privet eye replaced by a special ops expert. Unfortuneatly as a trilogy this story fails rather badly. The second and third books do not work nearly as well as the first two. Only the main two characters are kept through all three books and they simply don't stand up the rigor of another seven hundred pages. It is never truly awful the more of this you read the less interesting it is. I can recomend this first novel as a good quick read, but don't feel bad if you don't get around to the sequals.

Summary: LIEGE KILLER is killer Sci-Fi,excellent thriller & more
Review: This trilogy expresses the best hybrid hard-core/action Sci-Fi < > Imaginative Fiction since Heinlein, Asimov and Herbert. HAH! you say. You're a devout skeptic, but you're too clever by half. LIEGE KILLER<>PARATWA is: Outstanding on plot. Extraordinary for depiction (setting proper) and expressive description (sci-fi ideas). Excellent with characters and their world-views, dilemmas, gestalt, development and uniqueness. (Yes, that special characteristic has been done many times, but Mr. Hinz presents the specie with such ingenuity and vividness that the reader might be mesmerized- yeah, I was).When I say uniqueness, I don't mean merely weirdness for its own sake - though there's strango-a-plenty going on. The author doesn't sacrafice suspense for all this richness, either. There's loads of action in the major plotline and the subplots. There's raftloads of suspense on the way. With the action, there's truckloads of gore too, but not, again, for its own sake. (Well MAYBE one or two scenes.) Unlike Hollywood Mr. Hinz knows that plots not only develop, and that such is needed if you want to build suspense; but that action is amplified by orders of ten through suspense. Talk about your Evil Twin! O.K., for those of you who MUST have the Cartesion, Craft Services reduction-on-a-platter; or in this case under-glass and spinning in space: > 1/3 Blade Runner, 1/3 Dune, 1/3 Caves of Steel, 1/3 Stranger in a Strange Land; and a swirl of Farmer and a pinch of Sturgeon (More than Human). Yeah I know, but you always get more with Science Fiction.

Summary: Liege-Killer is a staple for any aficionado of sci-fi.
Review: With Liege-Killer, Christopher Hinz has come up with one of the most inventive ideas in modern sci-fi. The Paratwa and the technology they use are chillingly realistically portrayed, and Hinz creates a fascinating subculture among them, which makes for fascinating reading in itself. The reader can really get the feel of what it's like to have one mind in two bodies. In addition, the novel has enough surprises and double crosses to make Ian Fleming jealous. If you like science fiction, give Liege-Killer a try, you won't be dissapointed
