Good review November 9, 2008 This seller does a great job responding quickly and mailing fast. All the items have arrived in excellent condition.
Better Than The First... September 9, 2008 Well, Fearless, was better than Dauntless. I'm not sure what the major difference is between the writing of the two books, perhaps it is less self doubt, and just I feel more engaged with the book. I had a real hard time getting into the first book.
I HATE, HATE, HATE, the author's use of Italics. I find it to be very distracting.
I LOVE, the fact that the author acutally takes into account space/time delay when dealing with communications. It's not instant communication like Ansible (Ender's Game) or any other faster than light communication.
It makes for a very interesting view on space battles.
An engageing writer does it again August 30, 2008 Jack really does a great job grabbing your attention. He makes you want to know what's going to happen next. Part of his success is character development. You believe in these characters.
His understanding of the battles is inspired and he gets the points across to the readers extremely well. The characters jump off the page and you can really lose yourself in the book. Sure, we 'know' there is going to be some sort of success in the end, but you really want to experience the ride. Jack really pulls you along.
The story isn't new, the 'reality' of the physics of the battles is interesting, the desperation of Black Jack Geary is palpable. Well done!
Enjoyable August 5, 2008 Very fun. This is my first space opera series. The premise is good. I can see where the author is starting to repeat sections. Almost as though its from a military mind that must repeat it for the rest of us dunces who can't retain it unless its repeated endlessly... Now that is getting tiresome.
On a scale 1 to 5, Five is Best:
Villian: 4 Plot: 4 Creativity: 4 Uniqueness: 4 Humor: 2 Bringing the sexy: 0 Passion: 5 stars (for duty & honor ) 4 Laughs & Amusement factor: 1 Silly Whiners who get on your nerves: 2.7 (and growing) Lazy Author repeating too much from prior chapters: 2.5
