Excellent Sci-fi/romance! (This refers to the 1988 version), Feb 6 2004
I picked up a copy of the origional 1988 version when it first came out, before it became a "Christian" book. (I don't think it was origionally intended as "Christian" Sci-Fi, but was re-edited to become one after the "conversion" of the author)
This book (first edition) really caught my attention, besides being good sci-fi, it is well written and has excellent characterization. It also includes telepathy and a wonderful romance. The villains, however, are rather two dimensional and stereotypically overly sensual, self-important and greedy.
While in many ways is is rather typical of the Sci-Fi Romance genre, it is one of the better examples. I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone who prefers "hard" sci-fi.
If you are looking for "Christian" fiction, buy a second edition copy of this book, but if you just want good sci-fi romance, look for a first edition copy.

An Great Read, Nov 16 2003
I love this book!When I read it for the first time I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. All three of the Firebird Trilogy books were really great although the first one has been my favorite.

An unbielevible breakthrough in science fiction!!!, Jun 21 2001
This review is from: Firebird (Paperback)
I have never read a better book in my life! From the first page to the ending paragraph,I was totaly thrilled. The action starts building right from the begining, and DOESN'T STOP untill Firebird and Brennon's final fight for freedom. And the whole time everthing seemed bielevible.After I finished reading it the first time I felt like I had just completed their mission with them.I like it because (1)It's loaded with action,(2)It is realistic and (3)Gives a great exsample of a young woman in search of God. I totaly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great science fiction.
