Wow! What a ride!, Jun 11 2000
This review is from: The White Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
With her trademark humor and vivid descriptions of exotic lands, Ms. Piel knows how to make the pages fly! From cover to cover I adored this tale of love and adventure. Will there be more in this series? Please say yes!

Too much slapstick, too little believability, May 2 2000
This review is from: The White Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
This futuristic lacks believability in a big way. The cloning science makes little sense. The heroine was supposed to be a skilled operative, but she was a klutz. And the action is often contrived.
This is one of those books where the humor comes from the supposedly capable heroine keeps bungling things, nearly getting people killed. The hero rolls his eyes and grips, but puts up with it. If you like that sort of thing, you'll love this book.
If you haven't read the earlier books in the series, you'll have a lot of catching up to do. There is a lot of background necessary to understanding this plot.
I didn't care much for the secondary characters who showed up near the end of the book. The best secondary character was a small, sentient bat who talked too much. The human characters couldn't compete with that!
I gave this book a D-

The best in the series, Feb 14 2000
This review is from: The White Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought that this was the best of the three in Piel's futuristic series. Arnoth was a great hero- handsome, intelligent, kind and sexy! Despite the pain of his past, he was able to find love with Sierra, who I thought was great. She was open, innocent, brave and even clumsy. Defintely someone that Arnoth needed to bring love into his life. What I really enjoyed the most about this book was the growth between the characters. The plot, action and alien worlds the author creates were just as intriguing. It is rare to find a good futuristic book out there and I am glad I had the opportunity to read Piel's futuristic series. Read them!
