I, too, read this and SPACE MAVERICKS when I was about 12, and still have them (and occasionally)still re-read them. I think that Mike created a great world - quite dark, mystical and certainly original - and don't believe that it has dated all that badly at all. I have been searching for the third book in second-hand shops (on-and-off) ever since. It's suddenly quite sad to find that he never wrote it...

The Space Mavericks No2. Children of the Knight

Following the previous reviews I too have waited far too long to find out what happend. The books themselves are very easy to read, I first read them aged around 10 but have re-read them more recently and enjoyed them a lot. It would be nice if Michael Kring could let me know how it all ended.

A superior setting - but what happens next?!

I just finished Children of Night and I cannot believe the third volume was never published. The writing is fluid and easy to read and the backdrop of a fascist society makes for a fascinating setting. It also makes a change for this type of sci fi that Fripp Enos has yet to bring down the establishment or even to make a significant dent. As another BOOK once said, 'Space is big, really big'... especially in the Space Mavericks books.

where's the end of the series?

A great couple of books here, along with it's companion volume. I just *really* wish the third book had been published. I'll ad my cry to the others here - what happens!!!

I like it!

This book continues where Space Mavericks left off and although some might consider the writing a bit light these books make great reading. The conclusion to this series of three books was never published due to difficulties experienced by the publisher, Leisure Books. Thanks a lot!!!!! Now we'll never know how the story ends......Mr. Kring if you read this please email me and tell me how it all ends .... I've only been waiting 18 years!!!
