Dune on a smaller scale, Jan 25 1999
By mop-n-glow "fd" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jesus Incident (Hardcover)
I can't think of a more terrifying world than Pandora, Herbert's world of weird and deadly animals and mutant clones, all created at the whim of Ship, the accidental god-machine from his novel Destination:Void. Again, Herbert places his poor charaters in a constant and dire struggle for survival, only this time it's not just humans who want to stay alive. The whole drama plays out under the watch of the sometimes benevolant, sometimes indifferent, but always inscrutable Ship, who has become man's (and clone's) computer-God of his own creation.What foresight Herbert had to present such a world of biological science and ecological destruction gone mad that foreshadows our own time.
A real treat for wild sci-fi fans. Look for it in used book stores. It's worth it!

By Bill Ransom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jesus Incident (Hardcover)
Not a review, just a notice that BILL RANSOM was the co-author with Frank Herbert on this book and the whole series. Amazon left my name off this display.

This is the best SF book I've ever read., Nov 28 2000
By Barry J. Middlebrook "rakehell" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Jesus Incident (Paperback)
This book has all of Dune's intricacy of plot and character development but is a far more concise and elegant presentation. It's actually a sequel to Destination:Void, which I found to be interesting but definitely one of his lesser works. Subsequent books along this story line are pretty good too. I highly recommend that you read this book when you have time to finish it fairly quickly. Otherwise, you'll lose track of the characters and their individual plot lines. I once read through the entire SF section of a library (4 books a week for 2 years, ~400+ books) and this book is my favorite SF book.
Listmania!
