5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, Sep 21 2001

By	Andrew Shaffren "Sruli" (Far Rockaway, New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: THRESHOLD (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this book! It was playful and serious at the same time (the hero has to stop the destruction of the universe as he knows it -- and has as much trouble believing that as you do). The hero will remind older readers of a slightly doofy version Kimball Kinnison (right down to the breeding program that produced him) but with a much better sense of humor. As he develops throughout this multiphase book, you like him more and more for his resourceful handling of what Palmer throws at him. I'm only sorry that Palmer has disappeared! What a loss to the SF world. His other novel, Emergence, was a real page turner as well. Please, Mr. Palmer, come out of retirement and finish this story!

5.0 out of 5 stars Threshold, April 26 2000

By	Mark McLauchlan (Adelaide, Australia (Down-Under/Oz)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: THRESHOLD (Mass Market Paperback)

A Mind-Blowingly good read. A writer this good comes along very rarely. This guy is easily the equal of Terry Pratchett. He makes you feel like your experiencing the story close-up. It is a great blow to science fiction that has apparrently written "only" the two books.

PS: His books are impossible to find copies of here in Australia, I had to get my copy of Threshold over the net from the US. (Total cost A$17.40)including postal charges

Still haven't got a copy of Emergence, Have to read mum's copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough book to put down, Jan 22 2000

By	Victoria Lehman "el toro" (Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: THRESHOLD (Mass Market Paperback)

...and when you do put it down, someone takes it! I've had two copies swiped from me! I, too, read this after reading EMERGENCE. I was a *tiny* bit disappointed in comparison, but never fear! The scenario is fascinating, and the plot twists will keep you guessing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining story, more fantasy than science fiction
This story take a uniquely simple premis and and expands it in a very interesting and entertaining way. I admit the author does go a little extreem in many of the situation. Read more
