The story is getting much better.

Revisado: 06-09-23

At first I was a bit put off by the whole undying schtick, but as the story developed, the writer put less and less emphasis on it and introduced (in the previous book) a top-rate antagonist that is making the story much better. As long as the author doesn't run out of good plots, I am inclined to finish the series.

Better than expected

Revisado: 05-10-23

After the first two novels of this series, I was a bit reluctant to go on. But there was something about the general backstory of the whole series that appealed to me. I suppose it was the way the author takes the gaming routine of respawning after a death and worked it into his story that urged me to stick to the series to see where it would go.
As this third book came to a close, I felt that the writer was really starting to get his game together and the revival theme (which had been something like a bad joke) was actually becoming more than just a plot device to get around the protagonists' problems.
Having grown up on the outskirts of the Okefenokee, the author's use of familiar places like Waycross had its own affect on me deciding to follow the story beyond the second book, and now that the main protagonist is becoming a bit more fleshed out, I am finding that I like this story more and more.
In essence, what started out as a curious approach to putting video games into novels and what I felt was originally a weak plot (in the first book) has gotten better with each installment. I foresee me sticking with this series to the end.

It has potential for the TFS readers.

Revisado: 03-05-23

It took a bit to regress to back away from what I had come to expect in the TFS series. But once I made the adjustment. the story started to really settle in. My only real complaint is that the story cuts off and leaves us hanging and having to wait for the next installment of the story. If's I'd known that up front, I might have postponed getting this until the next of the series comes out.

A good start to a promising series.

Revisado: 03-05-23

I felt that the story was actually quite good even though I am not a fan of tales that are told from a first-person perspective.
The whole undying angle is an interesting take on things. I just hope that as the grand story progresses that it doesn't turn out to be a bad plot device that is used to resolve conflict at every corner.
In summary, I look forward to reading the next installment, and that should say something.

The story keeps getting better.

Revisado: 12-10-22

This continuation of this saga picks up where the previous novel left off and continues to move at a fast pace. It's well written and entertaining in a style that reminds me of Tom Clancy but with a Gene Roddenberry flavor.

Good story but room for improvement

Revisado: 12-08-18

Having seen the movie, I was pleasantly surprised that the book went into a great deal more background and detail.
It would seem that this book was one of Heinlein's outlets that allowed him to tell a fairly decent story and at the same time rant about what is wrong with the world today and his opinion on how we can improve our society. In many respects, I agree.

The performer had an excellent ability to mimic various accents and dialects, but his reading was very staccato with prolonged breaks between sentences. As a result, the narrative didn't flow very well. Otherwise it was a good buy.

What could have been.

I'm sure Nolan got many questions in his career about the society in which Logan's Run took place. It seems that Logan's Search was an opportunity for the author to explore that world a little more. It was fairly done.

Well done.

Revisado: 10-06-18

This book was a very good way to round out the three-book series. I was pleasantly surprised that it focused on a different character than the previous books and provided some insight to prepare the reader for The White Dragon.

Acceptable but room for improvement

Revisado: 10-06-18

This volume of a truly great series is probably tied with Green Mother as my least favorite of the series.
At times it seemed as though the author was meandering about with no clear direction to go with the story. Having read much of his work, it is fairly evident when he is off his game.
That being said, the book does fill in its corner of the series and when rolled in together with the other associated installments, it becomes quite palatable.

Good story but room for improvement

The second in the series, Anthony really does a good job on this chapter, but the multiple side plots make it seem as though he was struggling to fill in pages. They don't really detract from the main plot, but they weren't really necessary either.
