4.0 out of 5 stars A tough education, Jan 27 2000

By	Ronald Bingham - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, while having some similarity to Enders Game (Orson Scott Card), is an introduction to a series that has very few pleasant characters. Everyone is in it for their own gain, but at least Rissa and Bran are fighting on the 'good' side. In this book and Young Rissa, you learn why they are the hard bitten people rebelling against the federation. Well fleshed out characters and strong storyline make this a compelling read.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best prequels to a space odyssey that I have read, Oct 18 1999

By A Customer

This is one of the best prequels to a space odyssey that I have read. F.M. Busby's characters are vividly drawn, and you leave the book wanting more from these characters. It was easy to get drawn into their lives, to root for the good guys and hate the bad guys. I'm glad that I have the first one, and I am determined to get all the rest. If you love a good sci-fi romp with great characters involved in vivid imagery, I suggest you do what ever you can to get your hands on these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for Sci-Fi buffs, Sep 11 1999

By A Customer

Busby writes a tale about the graduale corruption of an innocent to a "monster" from someone just wanting to survive to a force of change in his own universe. He create characters that you can believe, you hate them or love them you can believe that they are real people who have been forced to become who and what they are. The slaughterhouse is an example of horror of a corrupt system that has only one goal to instill obdience at all cost, Busby does an incredable job at makeing you see it and beleive it in your minds eye. Good job and I am looking for the other two in the series good luck in finding them to those others that are searching

Lie, cheat and steal, but get your hands on a copy of this book. Busby's gritty realism and intriguing choice of characters ensure that you are on tenderhooks the entire time.
