5.0 out of 5 stars Well, _I_ liked it...., Oct 19 1999
By "noctros" (Motor City, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FROM A CHANGE/STAR (Mass Market Paperback)
There are very few books that I will read in one sitting, and this is one of them. It literally begins with a bang (gunshot) and ends with the biggest bang of them all (a supernova). Nanotechnology has always fascinated me, and this book gives a far-future look at the applications of it. I enjoyed the internal battle of the main character as he attempts to rediscover who (and what) he is. About the only thing I was disappointed by was the fact that it actually ended. It is a very fast-paced book that kept me on edge the whole time. Unfortunately, my copy of the book was destroyed by water damage after it went out of print. There are also very few books that I would go on an all-out crusade to find, but this is one of them. I give it 5 of 5 stars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Blow up a star, no problem. Who am I?...Hmmm, April 1 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: FROM A CHANGE/STAR (Mass Market Paperback)
Is our protagonist a psychotic, amnesiac destroyer of stars or a brilliant research scientist reaching for the ultimate prize? While nanotechnology plays an important part in this story it is not the central issue. How can a man stay true to his convictions when he is the pinned between galactic empires and his own body is rebelling against him?

2.0 out of 5 stars sucked., May 16 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: FROM A CHANGE/STAR (Mass Market Paperback)
I heard about the concepts of this story several years ago: nanotechnology and space travel; nanoagents fight for a scientist whose brain becomes valuable, with devastating affects; the awakening of Betelguese; wormholes -- and I was fascinated. I was RABID for this book. No great scifi writer has yet written a good book about nanotechnology and spacetravel combined, excpet for perhaps A FIRE UPON THE DEEP. But it manages to totally weaken the ending so I just put it down in utter boredom, multiple times, makes the nanotechnology weak and lame, is melodramatic, canned characters, and can make dull the war for our heros body.
