Mit-Ro-Don

Rating:
Summary: Spires? first science fiction novel is a big hit
Review: Board your Goldstream Fighter spacecraft, launch and deploy for combat! Join the Earth Task Force with your benevolent alien allies, the Mit-Ro-Don, and courageously defend the Earth from all but certain destruction at the hands of the evil Chit-Chit-Kunak!

Spires' first science fiction novel is a big hit, a thoroughly engrossing read, at a very quick pace. Action on almost every page! A thrilling, highly creative tale of desperate space battles of gargantuan proportions. And the good, hard science will appeal to many readers.

Spires personal aviation and military experience shows frequently, as we follow the day-to-day military adventures of Earth volunteer Jim DeLucca, in a manner reminiscent of Heinlein's Starship Troopers (but without the fascism!).

The action is so fast and furious that one does wish at times that Spires had slowed down a bit to flesh out the characters, but this is but a minor criticism. All in all, an outstanding debut, and we eagerly await more, much more from Dan Spires!

Review: this is one of my favorite novels of all time. it has everything! flying saucers, alien wars, shocking plot twists, and even Bob Hope! it's the story of a guy who joins forces with an alien culture living on Earth who convince the world to join up with them to stop an evil alien armada hell-bent on destroying the world. if you like 'war of the worlds', you'll enjoy this even more. it has mr. explosion!'s personal seal of approval, and what more could you ask for than that?
