Starhawk 3 is a STAR

Two words to describe Star Hawk: The Fourth Empire: gripping and thrilling. It was difficult to put down once I started it. Star Hawk begins to explain how Hawk Hunter was transported into the future. In the book, we learn what has happened to previous empires. It has twists that keep the reader hooked. Hawk Hunter is a true patriot and he shows his love for America. This is refreshing to read due to 9/11 and the revitalization of our country's patriotism in all walks of life. This book is a must read for Hawk Hunter/Wingman fans!

A very fun read

Mack Maloney has written another very entertaining adventure in the Hawk Hunter universe. Once again I have picked up one of his books and not been able to put it down until I had finished it. As long as he keeps writing them I will rush out to get them.

Almost too good to be believed

Buy this book! Once you have it, make a large pot of coffee. You'll need it because you will not be able to put it down until you are done.Is it good? Yes!Is it the best of the Starhawek series? Yes, with a caveat...so far.In this, the third of the Starhawk series - we learn a lot about why Hawk Hunter was placed in the 73rd Century. We don't know by whom - maybe, by what, is a better way of putting it - but we have a why. However, the why presented isn't neccesarily the correct why; nor it is the why that we may want it to be.Though, there's much less action in this one, don't be put off by that, either. Think of this as an expositionary tale. One in which we are staging for something far bigger.The X-files are winding down. Fear not, my friends, the Hawk is there with just as much intrigue and possibility. Yeah, the truth is out there!

WINGMAN #19

Although Hawk still hasn't figured out where he came from or who he really is, he's still battling against whatever forces mess around with the US, regardless of whether it's on Earth or on the other side of the Milky Way. This one has an in-depth explanation of where and how all four Galactic Empires came about and exactly why three dozen Earth nations got kicked off the homeworld, as well as a cute little crossover with the "Chopper Ops" series; perhaps Hawk jumped from his universe over to that one. It also hints that there might be a "Wingman #20/Starhawk #4" in the future.

Always Exciting

Mack Maloney continues to bring the most exciting and innovative action to his readers. Fourth Empire is a fast paced, entertaining adventure - another in a long line of Maloney hits.
