Where the Ships Die (Dell Picture Yearling)

Rating:
Summary: Mr. Dietz is always interesting
Review: I just finished this book, and I must say, Mr. William C. Dietz is the best. No matter what he writes, no matter how many characters he starts out with, everything comes together nicely in the end. Ever since I picked up "Galactic Bounty" at the airport, I've been amazed by all of his books. This one is no exception. Although there is not much military aspect to this book, the way things work out for everybody is the thing that keeps me wanting more of his work. Mr. Dietz writes so well, that you even get to like some of the bad guys in them. I also like the fact that he writes strong female characters in every one of his books. No matter what you're in the mood for, Where The Ships Die has a little of everything for everybody. Defenetly a good read. Of course this is not hard military sf like his Legion of the Damned series, but Mr. Dietz manages to insert interesting characters along with more than interesting situations. Go out and get this book NOW! Keep'em comming MR. DIETZ.

Summary: Not like the other military sf-books from Dietz...
Review: The reader who wants the usual military sf or high-tech/hard-boiled style, usually delivered by Dietz, might be a little disappointed with this book, which might explain the lower average rating it has receved compared with others from the same author. However, "Where the Ships Die" is a very good and entertaining story/adventure in the grand style that reminds me a lot of Jack Vance and a little of Robert Heinlein. If you like these authors; you will not regret afterwards that you got this book.
