Customer Reviews

Good YA adventure.

Take notice of the dedication page please. This is, IMO, a Hardy Boy's In Space 'young adult' adventure. It should have been labled such by the publisher. I wonder if they were trying to suck in Liaden fans. If so, it may backfire on Sharon and Steve by causing new readers to think the Liaden books are similar. I've read all of their Liaden books, starting in 1988 with Conflict of Honors, one of the best. Take it from me, the Liaden books are in a class of their own. An exalted class.

How could you not like this???

I love this book. I love their other books too. But it's great to read something new and different. I'm half way thru this book and can't wait to finish it and read the next one. Please don't wait too long for the next one. And please don't pay any attention to the nay-sayers. Sharon and Steve, this book is great!!

Dammit, Sharon and Steve, What a Cliffhanger!

The two of you are intrinsically evil. For years you've been showing off your virtuoso characterization and universe-building skills with the Liaden series, and the maybe-Liaden stuff...and now you dump us into the middle of a war in a universe we don't know anything about, with giant chickens as allies and a youthful heroine who appears to be something quite special. This is Star Wars plotted and written by good writers instead of George Lucas. And then..... And then..... And then..... You bloody leave us hanging in space (literally, almost) as the book is just entering its climax. Whew! PLEASE let the next volume come out soon. Walt Boyes The Bananaslug. at Baen's Bar
