4.0 out of 5 stars Unpleasantness well told Mar 3 2001
By Jay Carper - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've never cared for the political or religious ideas that Kube-McDowell appears to favor. His characters portray attitudes toward their fellow humans that I believe are unfortunately typical of most politicians: they are the only ones capable of rational thought--the rest of us need to be controlled for our own good. Even more unfortunately they are sometimes right. One of the hallmarks of a great writer is that he can present characters and situations that I would normally find distasteful, but pull me in regardless. Emprise is a great story. I've read it three times now....
4.0 out of 5 stars A chaotic Earth receives a message from the stars! July 17 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Earth is in chaos after the Fuel Wars of the 1970's. Scientists are mistrusted, even persecuted. Yet in the face of all adversity one man receives a message from the stars. The Radio signals of the 1920's and the early TV broadcasts have been received, understood and replied to. The Senders are on their way. Can Earth prepare in time?

2.0 out of 5 stars Overblown and ordinary Sep 21 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It's evident that Kube-McDowell cut his literary teeth watching nebbish tv shows and mediocre movies. The plot structure carries the story as well as can be expected, but the language and characters are pedestrian at best. Where Kube-McDowell strives for passion, he loses control and becomes hackneyed. If the author can't truly care for his characters, why should I? Not recommended.
