Rating: Summary: don't waste your time Review: If you've read battlefield earth and are eager for more, don't waste your time with this book. Read Dune or Forever war instead, those are the only ones that could get closer to that.Battlefield Earth was the best book I've ever read and I was expecting a lot from this one. But found a poor story, weak plot and irrational situations and explanations. People is saying that the first one is the better, I can't imagine how bad the others are ...
Rating: Summary: A sensational sci-fi story! Review: Science Fiction being the tricky genre that it can sometimes be, author L. Ron Hubbard does an outstanding job of telling the story of an alien from the planet Voltar, one Mr. Soltan Gris, a member of a rather unsavory group called the Apparatus. His mission - to bring one kidnapped Jettero Heller of a group simply designated as the "Fleet", which is much higher in the chain of life on Voltar, to Earth for a less than dubious task. The characters are alive and the story is told from the viewpoint of Soltan Gris himself, making it all the more interesting. This is book one in a series of ten, and I most definitely am beginning book two immediately. L. Ron Hubbard manages to mix a melting pot of creativity in authorship. There is humor, the story is fast-paced, there is suspense for the suspense and mystery lover, and even some exotic moments with the Widow Tayl (a nymphomanicac of Voltar). A definite must for science fiction lovers and just a very well written, expansive, delightful story. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: I Can't Believe I Read the Whole Thing! Review: Yep, I read all 10 books. It had to get better, right? RIGHT? Ugh, it didn't. Read Battlefield Earth instead, same author, much better.
