A Great New Story with Old Familiar Characters, July 11 2003
By Robert Pesavento "Art Director" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flash Gordon: Massacre in the Twenty-Second Century (Paperback)
This series (I believe there were six total) was very enthralling. There was always something happening, action everywhere. I enjoyed the more "mature" Flash Gordon" from what I remember from the serials. I was so intrigued that the publisher didn't list an author on any of the books. For an interesting use of familiar characters and bang-a-minute action, get yourself a copy of the whole series. Sit back and buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride!!! Enjoy!!

This book was the start of a series based on the old Flash Gordon science fiction stories. None of these books had authors listed, each of them being written by a team of writers organized by the publisher (I later discovered that this first volume was written by David Hagberg, who later wrote a number of popular spy novels). I thought that they would start off by retelling the original story of Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, Dr. Zarkov, and Ming the Merciless. Unfortunately, they did not. I found the stories very boring. In fact, this first volume was terrible. The author has no feeling for either true science fiction, space opera, or camp science fiction.
