Can't wait for more!

This second installment of the Starshield series is a stunning achievement. Now that the reader is familiar with the nature of the Starshield universe one can fully appreciate the story. While not as well known as Weis and Hickman's Dragonlance saga, this series has all the promise of being as epic on a stellar level. The secrets revealed in the final pages of this book are such that I cannot wait to read the third installment. Unfortunately, I have heard no news of the next book being written. It would be a shame to kill the series on such a power and gripping novel.I highly recommend this book.

Probably the BEST sci-fi novel written yet!!!!

After I read Starshield: Sentinels (aka The Mantle of Kendas-dai), I knew I had to get my hold on the next book when it came out. Well, now I want to get my hold on the next book right whenn it comes out!! Weis and Hickman make an amazing pair as the explore the realm of sci-fi, adding just a hint of magic and humor. Griffiths is a loveable main character, with witty personality and snappy one-liners. And just when you think you know who gets the Nightsword... you don't. All in all, this is probably the best sci-fi novel I've ever read to date and I recommend it to anyone looking for someone who wants sci-fi that's a little out of the ordinary.

A perfect continuance to a wonderful serries!!!

A MUST READ! WIES AND HICKMAN HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!!! This is a wonderful book. It is a bit different from there norm (or from any other standard of normality for that matter) but it is still them. This book elaborates greatly on the STARSHIELD universe which has been a great success. The Nightsword gives a wonder feel for what the STARSHIELD universe is, and introduces a lot more races and cultures than the last book.It puts a compleatly new spinn on what a typical fantasy novel would have.

Nightsword is a DEFINATE success!!!

I have always been a Weis/Hickman fan. Nightsword perfectally continues where Sentinels left off. Once again Weis and Hickman have made another OUTSTANDING book!!!! I to have a story. For a copy of it so far, e-mail me. Once again,this book RULED!!!!!

Nightsword is a success!

_Nightsword_ does, infact, deliver more on the Story of the Starshield Universe. _Nightsword_ is a powerful novel whose universe is based on Quantum Physics, making a dynamic medium with which to work in._Nightsword_ follows _The Mantle of Kendis-Dai_ beautifully, adding the ideas of others into the plot, making it a living work. The Mythology behind the Starshield Universe is also expertly revealed: from hints at Earth's involvement in the Galaxy's distant past to Lokan's Crusade to stamp out racial diversity, literally.I say that anyone interested in reading this book should do so, but only after you've read the first one first. Or you would be lost.
