Star Commander Joanna has had to live with the shame of defeat at Twycross, and Aidan Pryde flaunting his bloodname in her face. With the arrival of Ravill Pryde, who will lead them against the Wolf Clan, Joanna must fight for her chance to recapture the glory of her victory at Tukkayid.

3.0 out of 5 stars Has its moments, Feb 19 2004
I'm not a fan of Robert Thurston. There's too much baggage in the two books of his I have read, as he seeks to rub your nose yet again in how vitally important Aidan Pryde (praise Aidan Pryde!) was to the functioning of the universe from now until the end of time. Oh, and introduce you to yet another nefarious plot involving the honorless freebirth scum of the scientist cast and their tinkering with the legacy of Aidan Pryde (praise Aidan Pryde!) who was vitally important to the functioning of the universe from now until the end of time.
However! I rather like "I am Jade Falcon", because Star Commander Joanna is such an unashamedly bad-tempered and aggressive character who won't stop fighting anything and everything till the last possible moment. And Ravill Pryde, her new commanding officer with annoyingly cheerful and devious ways, has his charms as well. If you ignore the Aidan Pryde (praise Aidan Pryde!) element, this is not a bad mix of action and intrigue in which (gasp!) both Joanna and Ravill Pryde LEARN SOMETHING.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better then some, Mar 3 2002
By "evilpigking" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
I red this book recently and I must admit it is better then most. This book goes into the story of Joanna the jade falcon. Without reading this book some of the other ones are a little more confusing but it is not a must read. All together though this book is well written and a good read.

I have no trusted Thurston, and I never will. I can never forgive him for the death of Natasha.
