Exodus, 5

by Shirley Meier and Steve White

Book Overview

Once before, the sentient races in the known part of the galaxy -- humans, Orions, Ophiuchi and Gorm -- had united to defeat alien invaders. The bugs were as incomprehensibly alien as they were revoltingly evil, using all other living things, intelligent or not, as food, and they had been defeated at a terrible cost.

Customer Reviews

Great Series

I have loved the Star Fire series by Steve White ever since I read "On Death Ground". This one takes place 80 years after the events in "Insurrection". I am hoping that he will eventually go back do handle some of the eariler wars.

Fast action and gripping drama

Steve White & Shirley Meier's EXODUS offers up a fine sequel to THE SHIVA OPTION, and fans of this prior book will be the most likely enthusiasts for its ongoing saga. Here decades have passed and the original warriors of the 'battle against the bugs' have grown complacent. How can they win against aliens who know they will be reincarnated when they die? Fast action and gripping drama makes EXODUS a pick for any who enjoyed THE SHIVA OPTION.

Can't put it down

I just finished reading this as an ebook on my Treo and I could barely put it down. I've read the whole series and it is just fabulous - I hope they hurry with the next one!

MY WISHES HAVE COME!

At long last another continuation of the STARFIRE series of books by Weber/White. Ever since Shiva Option, the series left me feeling both satisfied and incomplete. It mainly was the fact that the Bug's managed to hide away a star system (this can only be found by carefully reading Shiva Option)...but this small tidbit might be a point of confrontation FAR and way down the road from this book; Exodus. Though I have yet to purchase let alone read this book. Being that it was this series of books that has spurred my interest in writing something of my own. I'm currently stricken with a severely accute chronic case of writers block. But the anticipation of reading the continuation of Star Fire just might be the inspiration I've been looking for.

a really interesting Universe

Yes the book is just the start of several others but buy this and go along for the ride. This is one of the best series for interstellar war and military tradition. Read the previous novels to get the whole story.
