Mistwalker

Rating:
Summary: I was impressed, an ecological science fiction adventure
Review: Can you imagine having to live in a humid jungle where their is bugs every where including your home. Hopefully your pet lizard will eat them for you. Technology in this world if frowned upon unless it is something like biodegradable. Not only does this story talk about ecology issues, but discrimination issues come up too.

Summary: Ecological adventure to the max!
Review: Denis Lopes Heald's first book, "Mistwalker", is extremely entertaining and lush with vivid descriptions of the jungle on the planet Ver Day. The 'green', as the 'greenie' Ver Day natives call it, is filled with exotic animals that put Earth's jungle creatures to shame. As well, the government, or 'govies', is another interesting level to the story, and Meesha Raschad's life story and enemies from MB-2 adds another heap of an entertaining plot. I hope that Denise Heald will someday come out with another book, because "Mistwalker" was published by Del Rey Discovery in 1994! Well, let's just wait and see.

Summary: I'm waiting for another book, sequel or not.
Review: Even though I've read and reread this book a dozen times, it is so rich and complex that I still find something I missed in previous readings. Sal and Meesha are two of my favorite characters of all time and I hope I haven't seen all I'm going to of them. It has been several years since 'Mistwalker' has come out and I have nearly despaired of seeing a sequel. I do and will continue to check the 'D' section of every bookstore I shop, just in case.

Summary: A Rewarding Adventure
Review: I have to admit I was reluctant to read this book. My brother-in-law recommended it and knowing his tastes I was a bit hesitant. You see, he reads books by the case and his memory tends to run the stories together a bit, making a recomendation of his somewhat chancy. In this case he was right on the mark. I found the story so engaging that I couldn't put it down. I have re-read the book about 3 times and it gives me the same amount of pleasure as the first. Denise Heald is a voice that I want to hear again, I would love to hear of anything she was working on. It is so rare that a first novel just wows me like this. Sure there are flaws, small ones, but they are more than made up by the original story, the gritty details, the realistic characters, and the very hot love story.
Personally I intend to buy a couple of copies as Christmas presents and one for myself. The truth is, I never did give my Brother-in-laws copy back to him.

Review: Mistwalker has something for everyone. Suspense, mystery, romance, science fiction.....reminds me a little of Australian outback or Wild West novels.. yet, it holds together as a single narrative. When the mistwalker walked by, my skin tingled... Just plain fun!
