5.0 out of 5 stars A great read., Dec 22 1999
By Kevin M. Fries (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LIFE DURING WARTIME (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm always amazed at Shepard's output. He has a way of making things believable yet allowing you to be surprised at the next turn of events. A unique writer and a book that sneaks some basic truths past you while the reader is still trying to comprehend the new universe Shepard lays out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shepard is one of the best 20th century writers, Feb 20 1999
By Peter F. Delaney (Gainesville, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: LIFE DURING WARTIME (Mass Market Paperback)
I always love Lucius Shepard's work and this is his best novel. It is like "Apocalypse Now" in the future, and has the same kind of impact on the reader as that film did on the viewer.

A quote from the opening paragraph: "One of the new Sikorsky gunships... gave Mingolla and Gilbey and Baylor a lift from the Ant Farm to San Francisco de Juticlan, a small town located inside the green zone.... To the east of this green zone lay an undesignated band of yellow that corssed the country from the Mexican border to the Caribbean. The Ant Farm was a firebase on the eastern edge of the yellow band, and it was from there that Mingolla -- an artillery specialist not yet twenty-one years old -- lobbed shells into an area that the maps depicted in black-and-white terrain markings. And thus it was that he often thought of himself as engaged in a struggle to keep the world safe for primary colors."

5.0 out of 5 stars Relationships and war beautifully woven with Magic Realism, Dec 29 1997
By A Customer
I enjoyed this book and Mr. Shepard's ability to provide a good story with some fantastic elements that are still very believable. I rue the day that I lost my copy and and have missed ever since. The magic realism of the book is more approachable than Marquez, but no less satisfying.
