This review is from: Titan (Mass Market Paperback)
But I finally read the entire trilogy. Titan seems to be out of stock everywhere but Amazon and was well worth the wait.All the truths that were established in the other two novels are blown completely away. Proof again that the reader is always as ignorant as the narrator.

Imaginative to a point...,
By Erik1988 (Folsom, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Titan (Mass Market Paperback)
An artifact is discovered in space...inside is an amazing assortment of discoveries, but more importantly our group of people need to find a way off this thing.1) Fantastic world created!! 2) Like others have said the author suffers from immaturity when handling the sexual portion of this book. 3) Definitely not for kids! Not to mention there are so many other things that could happen without characters having sex ever thirty pages or so. I literally counted three scenes within the space of 80-90 pages...which took up most of those pages. 4)Characters were ok, but nothing too rememberable. OVERALL: Kept reading in the hopes things would improve but they didn't. Gave it a two stars vs. one because of the fantastic world created in general. For exploring an alien artifact, Greg Bear's "Eon" was a much better read (and more mature)

Entertaining pulp,
By Dirk Tebben (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Titan (Mass Market Paperback)
These books are nominally sci-fi but really have more of a fantasy flavor, especially the second and third installments in the trilogy. Heroes, gods, monsters, epic quests, nukes, and lots of human-human and human-alien sex. In other words, all the ingredients of a pulp space opera. The series makes good beach reading but parts of it are not for the squeamish, so be warned. The dust jacket of my copy of "Titan" compares it with Frank Herbert's Dune books, which is ridiculous, but all in all these novels aren't a complete waste of time.
