From Publishers Weekly

This novelization of a forthcoming film is Moran's third, longest and least interesting novelafter Armageddon Blues and Emerald Eyes all of which have appeared in the last six months. Recalling the miniseries V , the epic subject here is a revolution that turns into a war on many fronts. A millennium after a nuclear holocaust, the protagonist Cain is born into a peaceful if depopulated Earth whose Rulers enjoy wealth and immortality thanks to the technology they deny their subjects. Surviving an intended death sentence of exile to a radioactive desert, Cain returns to raise armies and to steal the awesome weapon called the Ring. The Rulers' move to a new planet still leaves him with other foes, including the genetically altered Giants. Moran's usual flat characterization is matched this time by his drawn-out, derivative plot, based on a screenplay by William Stewart and Joanne Nelsen.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Classic! One of Keys best!, Avril 11 2001
Par Steven M. Berman (LA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
It has been a while, but this novel is still seared into my memory. It brings to mind so many genres from modern screen epics, to comic books, to the "Ring" opera it honors, and the even earlier myths. The characters, storytelling and action are broad yet detailed and beautifully drawn. It's one of those books that you make you so sorry you've reached the last page. If you like space opera - snap it up. Steve Berman, UCLA

5.0étoiles sur 5 what it is about, Jui 25 2000
Par Un client
since no one else will say what this is about... this is the story of earth after a hugely destructive war, there is only the valley left that is not covered with water, and this valley is controlled by the Rulers, genetic perfections who can teleport themselves, and who dominate the lower class human Workers because of this ability, which the humans lack. into this place is born Cain, a clairvoyant, a telepath of unusual ability , he is a wonderfully portrayed character, a man too hard and too focused on his leadership of the rebellion of the humans against the rulers to see anything else, until a small orphaned boy is left in Cain's care--a boy whose unknown heritage will decide the outcome of this war over freedom and revenge. (by the way the ring doesnt really have much to do with the story, its just a good setting for the introduction) this book is sweeping and honest, Cain isn't nice or kind , but neither is he evil , you must decide who is right in this book , it isn't handed to you. like so much of real life, none of this is black and white, just shades of gray

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great book, with tragedy but the right sort of ending, Sep 7 1998
Par Un client
I loved this book, which is unusual for one that is an adaptation of a screenplay. Perhaps it's because it hasn't made it to the movie screen yet. It has the scale that normally requires at least 3 volumes, but it is all in one book. The best of scifi. Comparable to A Plague of Angels by Sheri S Tepper

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not nearly as good as his other stuff
Doesn't have the same hard sf feel that his continuing time novels do. Not bad, just different.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not bad, but nothing like the rest of his stuff.
I have read all of DKM's works and this one has the least 'edge.' An interesting novel but nothing compared to the continuing time masterpeice.
Publié le Janv. 15 1998
