Product Description
Book Description
Somewhere, deep in the vast blackness of space, a wormhole waits to be found. Dorn Voss needs to find it. But, the stakes are high and he isn't the only one looking. Natural occurring wormholes are the lone means of intergalactic travel in the universe. Whoever controls them gains riches and power unimaginable. The coordinates of one such wormhole, the Mescalaro Gap, are lost, hidden behind conspiracy and murder. With a prize so great, many a man or alien would do anything to find those coordinates and control the universe. In WHERE THE SHIPS DIE, author William C. Dietz creates a dense adventure filled with complex characters and multiple storylines all crashing headlong towards one final confrontation.

Mr. Dietz is always interesting, May 21 2000
By Carlos - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wormhole (Paperback)
I just finished this book, and I must say, Mr. William C. Dietz is the best. No matter what he writes, no matter how many characters he starts out with, everything comes together nicely in the end. Ever since I picked up "Galactic Bounty" at the airport, I've been amazed by all of his books. This one is no exception. Although there is not much military aspect to this book, the way things work out for everybody is the thing that keeps me wanting more of his work. Mr. Dietz writes so well, that you even get to like some of the bad guys in them. I also like the fact that he writes strong female characters in every one of his books. No matter what you're in the mood for, Where The Ships Die has a little of everything for everybody. Defenetly a good read. Of course this is not hard military sf like his Legion of the Damned series, but Mr. Dietz manages to insert interesting characters along with more than interesting situations. Go out and get this book NOW! Keep'em comming MR. DIETZ.

Not like the other military sf-books from Dietz..., Jan 4 2000
By Anders Lundberg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wormhole (Paperback)
The reader who wants the usual military sf or high-tech/hard-boiled style, usually delivered by Dietz, might be a little disappointed with this book, which might explain the lower average rating it has receved compared with others from the same author. However, "Where the Ships Die" is a very good and entertaining story/adventure in the grand style that reminds me a lot of Jack Vance and a little of Robert Heinlein. If you like these authors; you will not regret afterwards that you got this book.

Exciting story, characters to care about, Dec 7 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wormhole (Paperback)
Dietz's story is compelling, well-constructed, and intriguing. The idea of wormholes as economic assets is viable and exciting, and the young Dorn Voss is a character to care about. Where the Ships Die tells the story of a young man born into wealth who has to regain his status and his family against great odds, and carries himself with courage and honor in pursuit of justice. A fine story, with some cultural commentary to boot.
