science fiction Steppe history [no spoilers],
By Oscar "DaRK KNighT" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steppe (Mass Market Paperback)
Alp, a great warrior of the Steppe, is unwillingly snatched at an opportune moment to the future of 2332 where history is reenacted in an intergalactic game to educate and entertain enthusiasts about the great nomadic tribes of the Asian empire. Alp must participate and hopes his knowledge of the accounts, people, and strategies of the era might help him score high enough to survive afterwards.From what I gather, the book is based on factual events of Asian history. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the education of the time period. The transition of past to future geography and technology is well thought out. The story moves extremely fast and can be mildly tricky to follow when the history lessons happen. Good action story combined with romance and suspense make "Steppe" an enjoyable read. Thank you.

Historic Magic!!!!!,
By Joseph Kerr "thebalrog99" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Steppe (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is easily findable at used book stores so don't worry about finding it here on amazon. Never before or probably again will I read a book quite like this one. This book is real world history intricatly and intelligently weaved into a future landscape. It cannot be fully explained just how well done this book is. Even if you don't like science fiction and you don't like history. You will still marvel at the skill involved in this book. You will laugh at yourself because you will feel as if you've been tricked into reading a history lesson. But it feels nothing like that. This book is where Anthony truly shines because it took intelligence and a great artistic mind to write this novel. This book is Great!!!!!!!!
