Summary: It gets no better than this!
Review: Colonel Ludmilla "Milla" Leonovna looked only ninetten or twenty years old. In truth, she was over one hundred and twenty. The four hundred year war was nearing the end. However, to spy a Kanga force with three Trollheims siding her and attempting to fold space to cross quickly, and possibly time travel backwards, showed that this was some sort of desperate last move of the Kanga's to change the war. "Trolls" are best described as androids with human brains. Kangas "farmed" human brains to stay supplied with Trolls. It was like fighting fire with fire. Now I must skip much or give away some pretty awesome stuff. Milla and one troll are all that survives and find themselves in the twenty-first century. The Troll has always been the pawn of Kangas. Finding himself able to make his OWN decisions is unique for a Troll. Troll decides NOT to destroy Sol, and therefore complete his mission. That mission had been to destroy Sol (Earth). Then Kangas would win the war before it ever began. With only logic and hatred within himselfr, Troll decides to have revenge on all humans AND kangas. He would enslave all of Sol and be prepared when the first Kangas arrive so he could exterminate them. A soon-to-be retired SEAL Captain rescues Milla when the Troll left, thinking she was dead. Now she and the captain must secretly prepare the world leaders to help seek out and destroy the Troll. However, if the Troll realises Milla still lives or even suspects it cannot complete its "new" mission, Troll will simply and logically destroy himself, which will take all of Sol with it! There is so much more which I cannot tell for fear of spoiling it. This covers only the bare basics. David Weber's series of Honor Harrington and the series known as Wing Commander are the only two Sci-Fi series to even come close to being THIS great! DO NOT MISS THIS ONE! Own it in hardback if possible.

Summary: A Darn good story!!
Review: David Weber does it again! A great read that I couldn't put down! A warning from the future about a enemy who wants nothing more than to destroy all of humanity and a chance turn the tables. But first there is a killing machine lose on earth that must be destroyed. If humanity fails there will be no chance for the stars, victory will bring a wonderous collection of technology from the future and the chance for humanity jump into the star with a technologal edge that will make them unstopable! David Weber once again desplay's his superior writing talent. The author is one of the few who can make all the technology in his imagination come to life in terms that are clear, exciting and don't bore the reader to tears. Definately worth reading if your a David Weber fan!

Summary: Hard to believe David Weber wrote it.
Review: David Weber is my favorite author. As I read Apocolypse Troll I was stunned. A poor, overworked plot, undeveloped characters and action that was incomplete and not intense. In short, it had none of the features I have come to expect from David Weber. I have to believe that this book was either released in sketch form without Weber's permission, or that it is an old work that the publisher dusted off and printed without giving Weber a chance to finish or re-write it.

Summary: Definitely David Weber but could be more....
Review: David Weber's style, characterization, plot progression and pazzazz; but for the price of a hardcover, I would expect more than a short story. While the book was excellent, I found it way too short.

Summary: Form Space Battles to Space Invaders to Time Travel
Review: From the opening space battles to the final battle, this book is pretty much non-stop action. Sure, it's predictable, sure it's mushy, but it's a great read! I hesitated buying it, fearing another new series that would never be concluded, but this book stands alone, and wraps it up nicely. Watch the retired Naval officer save the world with a babe from the future...

Summary: Fast action, quick read, holds your interest
Review: Here's a story with a unique twist - "human" aliens so to speak. It's a fun story with characters you'll like. The opening grabs your interest and it's a fast ride from there to an exciting conclusion. This is the first of Weber's books I've read and I'll certainly try another one.

Summary: A male fantasy at best
Review: Hmmmm..., let's see. There's this warrior guy in our world, minding his own business, when (gasp!) all of a sudden, futuristic warships appear and blow the stuffing out of each other. A supersmart, super beautiful, youthful woman (who also happens to be superhuman and a great warrior) is rescued by the said warrior man (Boy meets girl.) I'm sure many of us young men have had the above fantasy at least once. For one thing, Weber already did this kind of story in Mutineer's Moon and to a lesser rate, at Heirs of the Empire. This stuff is so old it's stale.

Summary: Not his best work ever, but still a fun read
Review: I am a huge fan of David Weber and enjoy all of his works. At times this novel felt like he wasn't really trying but a few pages later, he was true-to-form. Lots of exciting and realistic action and compelling characters, and a great ending. Not his best, but definitely in the to 10.

Summary: A promising start to an even more promising career
Review: I am not sure I am correct in this but I have read that this was actually David Webers' first novel even though it was published after he became a best selling author with Baen for his Dahk and Harrington novels. I do not know if this tale has any truth to it or not but it would explain a great deal to me. This novel is based on a very exciting premise. The premise being that a desperate alien race, bent on the destruction of humanity, attempts to travel back in time in order to kill humanity before it reaches a technological level to resist. The humans of that future time fight this horde and the only survivors are one human and one alien who reach a time not too distant from our own. Obviously there is more to it than that but that is the gist of it. The idea is really interesting and some of the plot mechanisms are delightful as well. I particularly enjoyed a several page debate on the playabilities of the Copenhagen and Multi-world theories of time travel. The problem with this book was not he concept it was the execution. I felt that this book showed promise but that the author was not sure of how to tell the story he wanted to tell. The characters were not very developed and the motivations were clear but rather one dimensional in nature. As I said above, this book feels like an author's first work. This book shows the promise of Webers' future Honor Harrington novels if not the realization of that promise. A good book but not an excellent one.
