Summary: Strongly recommended!
Review: The Ring of Charon is a fantastic book and I could not wait for the second part to read. Unfortunaly, it took very long to finish it. Then, when the Shattered Sphere finaly found its way to the shop, I've had been waiting so long, that I read the first book again, and it was a pleasure, as I discovered and understood many things, I was not able to the first time. The Shatered Sphere starts off actually very slow, but when it starts going, it certainly lives more then up to the first part. Wow! That is truly "Hardcore Sience Fiction".
I'm just afraid, that I will never find out, how this amazing story will end as theres the stuff for a fantastic third book!
Outstanding books, which I will read over and over again, and who knows, maybe we will see the end of this great saga some day...

Summary: Original, exciting, enjoyable, fun. Read it!
Review: There are good books and great books. I have one higher category: "I don't want them to end" books. These are the rare books that take your breath away. Each page is engaging and exciting. The only problem is that they eventually come to an end. The Ring of Charon is one of those books. Enjoy it. I did.

Summary: Buyer beware, but still buy it ;)
Review: This book, like its predecessor, is some of the best science fiction that I've ever had the privelege to read. Unfortunately, the author leaves the reader hanging, waiting for a sequel to tie up all sorts of loose ends (intentionally, no doubt). The author has not, however, published the third book in the series. It's been a 10 year wait so far. Only buy this book if you are willing to subject yourself to the heartache of needing to look for new Anderson every time you walk into a bookstore, but find nothing other than continuation of lesser men's work (Asimov, Lucas, etc).

Summary: A great book, but it left me wanting...
Review: This is a wonderful novel for sci-fi fans, and even those that are only recently getting into the genre. The concepts are not necessarily so far ahead of today's science (theory) that it just seems completely unbelievable. The only criticism that I have for it is that there are sooo many characters introduced and that the novel jumps between them soooo frequently that I sometimes had a difficult time keeping them straight. But otherwise a great novel. I'm eagerly searching for the next in the "Hunted Earth" series. Invictus!
