Death Star was an enjoyable tale that was sort of prequel, but also ran concurrently to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The novel centers around the construction of the original Death Star. Grand Moff Tarkin shares the stage along with Darth Vader as the main villains in the novel. Vader is inv...
The Machiavelli Interface is a satisfying, 4 star conclusion to the Matador Trilogy. Perry writes a sparse novel but he covers all the bases. For the first time in the series, the Confederation, in the person of Marcus Wall, becomes a sinister, evil presence. Mostly though, it is oppressive as a bu...
3.5 to 4 Stars, another tight, well constructed story in the Matador series. This followup to The Man Who Never Missed reintroduces us to Dirisha, a female "bouncer" from the first book. Dirisha's rise from a dirt-poor planet off the beaten track to the top of the Matador ranks is told. She, like o...
The Man Who Never Missed The Man Who Never Missed is a 4 Star bowl of hot, buttered popcorn at the Saturday afternoon matinee. Just perfect. This Scifi adventure, written in the mid-80’s, still holds up well. It is a cross between Kung Fu the TV show and the Sten novels. In this case, “Kwai Chang Ca...
This is pretty much a must for any fan of Star Wars. It fits in nicely between Empire and Return. I loved Xizor and was pretty sad that I won't be seeing him in anymore books but he was an awesome character.
This is an excellent collection with a very good set of stories. If you like either Sherlock Holmes, or the works of H.P. Lovecraft, then you will like this anthology. The writers capture both the traits of the great detective with the ambiance and feel of Lovecraft's mythology. This is a good book ...
I've never read anything by both these two authors. But for what I know they both have written several novels each.Being a Star Wars afficionado when I saw this book I said to myself that this one should be a sure one but after reading some awful reviews I was taken aback and only by a chance did I ...
Okay, so I haven't read Anita in 2 or 3 years for Laurell's lack of writing and a plausible storyline. Good thing I did or I might not have liked this one at all. Actually, I don't think I liked it, I'm just getting my original Anita feix and deluding myself that things will get back to normal. I th...
This one did not take long to finish once I found the time. If you have seen the films, odds are good you may like books in this series. For me, the book was interesting because it gave more insight into the culture of the predators. The action is pretty good, and the ending pretty much goes along w...
Finally finished it. It is a pretty quick read. It is also pretty well written. The book is basically the story of the construction of the Death Star. It is divided in two parts: the construction and then the shakedown cruise, which leads to the events in the first Star Wars film most people have se...
