Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Stunning
Review: Frank Herebert's story is compelling and wonderfuly. I am not a real science fiction buff. But Frank Herberts work with this book was Phenominal. It gets a perfict 10

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: God's origins
Review: I find the book so deep that only after the 5th reading I understood Herbert was trying to conjure a new way to look onto the creation of our universe from a VERY uncustom perspective. OK, so I read it 5 times, and I'm venturing into my 6th now. Willing to sell me your herbert collection, don;t hesitate to contact. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "It is because you speak to me that I do not believe in you"
Review: One of the best short stories I have read, Whipping Star is most memorable for Fanny-May, an extra-dimentional Caleban whose death will mean the end of life. I definitely recomend it for any lover of fiction

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Professional Obstructors Meet Supernova Who Just Needs Love
Review: This was a clever book starring bureaucrats whose job is to intentionally derail governmental productivity and a sweet giant supernova named Caliban who just needs a little love. Together they must stop a wealthy & aristocratic S/M Mistress from destroying interstellar transportation. Reading this book will cause you to giggle like a madwoman.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Professional Obstructors Meet Supernova Who Just Needs Love
Review: Unique among his early works, this blends cutting-edge (for 1970) sci-fi concepts with subversive humor and -really- weird charaters for a great story you can polish off over the weekend. The scenes where Jorg X. Mckie tries to communicate with the Caleban are priceless. Too bad it's out-of-print... though I still see it in used book stores. Contact me if you want my copy!
