Summary: This book is incredibly awesome, I couldn't put it down!
Review: One of the best Detective novels ever. Swann's book combines the traditional gumshoe with a political thriller and the racial paranoia of the 50's and 60's to create a truly unique literary experession. Yet inspite of all the complex intertwinning of governmental intrige, multiple murder plots, and a few space aliens for good measure; Swann never looses site of his characters. The increadable detail that Swann puts into his characters draws the reader into their world, their lives, and their emotions. This truly is one of the best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb! A perfect fusion 'tween the Detective and SF genres

Summary: A breathless action thriller with a furry side.
Review: This book is simply astounding. The best thing I've read in nearly ten years. Okay, I originally picked this one up because I'm a furry fan (if you don't know what that means, well... go search for it), but I was pleasently surprised to find one increadible story loaded with deep characters, a super-complicated plot, dark social comentary, and a touching love story to boot.

What makes the story so great is Nohar. At first you wouls expect the hero to be the strutting, macho, "no man can stop me" action hero kind of guy. Like Rambo, only that he's a tiger. This just isn't the case. Nohar is humble, he's poor, he gets nervous in certain situations, and at times he can be very vulnerable.

Swann does a spectacular job of putting Nohar in a horrible situation that just gets worse after every corner. Just when you think Nohar's hole couldn't get any deeper, it does. In a word: Intense. I was in a cold sweat reading this book, it was that good. The action and suspence are mindblowing, but what really made it for me was the suble, yet touching love story that quietly develops, and gives a sign of hope for a dark, dark furture.

A tour de force. Read this book!

Summary: Superb work!
Review: This book is the start of a great trilogy. Swann paints a future that isn't warm and fuzzy without slipping into a typical cyberpunk future. The characters are fascinating, as is the technology and history. The reader can identify with the problems of the future - they feel like solid extrapolations of existing trends.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book is incredibly awesome, I couldn't put it down!
Review: This is a great book! This book explains the problems of someone who is different, even though he is much more different then you can imagine. He deals with the problems of life, a job, and a gang of mutant rats that chase him around and kill his pets. The plot is very interesting and believe me, after you've read about 100 pages, every other page is filled with eye popping, entertaining action.Great for Sci-Fi fans!

Summary: Forests of the Night Review
Review: What can I say? Being an anthropomorphic fan and a lover of great books this novel combines the best of both worlds. Its is a well written story about a gentically engineered anthropomorphic tiger (Anthropomorphic meaning he has human charactoristics) who is a private investigater. He soon finds himself taking a case that leads to unbeleivable events. If you love mysteries, you will love this book. It constantly keeps you guessing and the suspense is to the point where you'll refuse to put it down. This novel is a must have!
