Prison Ship

Rating:
Summary: A stupid, puerile, implausible fantasy.
Review: A prison transport star ship is commandeered by a group of intergalactic prisoners who pilot it to present day Earth and land in a maximum security prison, which itself has been subverted and is being run by the inmates. While there was a great deal of action and graphic description, I found the entire story to be an entirely implausible extended adolescent fantasy and produced feelings of derision, contempt, and disgust for the story. The two main characters were quite transparant and easily recognized as imaginary personas for the author. I did not enjoy the story at all, I deeply regret purchasing the paperback, and I have not been tempted to read another work of science fiction by this author. I am certain his historical works are much better and hope to read them someday, but no more of his science fiction.

Summary: Hey , If you dont want the book
Review: In regards to the reader who was sorry he bought the book. It has been many years since I read it. I would be glad to take it off your hands. I will agree that it is certainly far fetched. However, one of the things I did enjoy was that the way the author was able to write the story and the more graphic parts were indicated by solid and traced stars. The reader had the option to not read that part and still not miss what had occured . The way that some of these paragraphs were written were blantant and sometimes extremely violent. More was what the author was able to emote from the reader was the abhorence that we perceive..but also people like to read about it. In the end I enjoyed the idea of spreading music and the choice of the Moody Blues could not have been more appropriate. Ok not the very best book, but I did not put it down until I was finished.
