Stands with the best of the genre.The world building, the plotting, the story arcs are all fine work, but it is the indelible characters that make Mr. Stewart's books rise above the vast majority of authors. You'll note that I did not qualify that last statement in any way. He is a fine writer, no addenda or disclaimer needed. Do yourself the kindness of diving into his work. You will become acquainted with an extraordinary roster of people that live, and work and love and struggle through their...
C.T. Phipps and others have done really good reviews of this book. Reading them creates a better sense of the book than I could ever express. For me, Glynn Stewart has written another fine book in a stellar (groan) series. My being a communist had no bearing on my opinion, despite what my negative commenters might suspect.I would not recommend this book to cgr710, as the story stands against murder and cruelty for another's purposes as being morally repugnant, as does every other book written by...
The series that keeps on givingIf you’ve read the earlier books in this series by Glynn, you won’t be disappointed by this one.If you haven’t, poor yourself a beer, or coffee, or tea, settle into your favourite chair, and get started. Excellent book, excellent series. Now I’ve got to wait until the next one, and I’m already annoyed it hasn’t been printed yet.
Another fun book in this continuing series. A little less emphasis on overpowering magic and some really good strategic and tactical stuff, and a very interesting POV right from the first page that I wasn't expecting. I won't spoil it, but that first POV has some major repercussions for the Protectorate of Mars. This book had a very tight focus on the area of concern, with no real developments from the rest of the Protectorate, so it'll be interesting next time to see what kind of changes are re...
From an old paratrooper, why you should read this.The series here brings back memories of service and responsibility to the people we serve. Read it, feel the need to be more than mediocre, and enjoy. Robert A. Heinlein would approve, even though there are too many exclamation marks.
This was one of the best Starship's Mage books, it was pure space opera, but it held my attention from beginning to end. By halway I would have happily given 5 stars, but there was a point about three quarters of the way through I began to suspect the author was really going to annoy me with a bit of a 'cop out' with ‘Sharon Deveraux’ and take the easy way out.After finishing the book and thinking about a quick review I was surprised at how annoyed I really was by the ending. I finally gave two,...
Beyond the Eyes of Mars is the 12th novel of the fantastic STARSHIP'S MAGE series and one that I have pretty much binged every single time a book comes out, this one being no exception. They're light and breazy reads that I have no difficulty finishing in a single day. Here, we're following up on the breakaway factions leftover from the Unarcana World revolt. The Legion is no threat to the Martian Protectorate but they've enslaved multiple colonies and are acting like the Empire after Return of
Some good bits amid a lot of chaffSome good ideas but an overall rushed and unsatisfying execution. A surprisingly large chunk of the book is repetition- either re-explaining things that have been already explained several times over the series or repeating the same descriptions within the same book (e.g. who someone is or what they look like). This nonsense easily takes up two thirds of the book.Beyond that my major gripe is the same one as in the few previous books- there is the setup for a so...
This series is a great story, and each book just makes it that much more interesting. I always cheer when a new book in the series comes out, because that means there's more to read in one of my favorite series, and this book is of course no exception. Knocked this one out in a couple of days, (would have been faster, but life gets in the way you know). Loved the story, love the overall story arc, and still anxiously awaiting more books in the series. Don't know where it's going, but loving the
