Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

Colacci does an excellent job handling all the voices--human and alien. He's aided by electronic devices for the aliens, but his own abilities are evident, as well. M.A.M. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


From Booklist

This novel contains few surprises for those who have followed and enjoyed Zahn's work from before his Star Wars trilogy burst on the scene. In a star-faring future, humanity is facing tensions within its own ranks and also with various nonhuman races when an aggressive, militaristic new foe erupts from out of nowhere. The son of a high-ranking statesman is the sole survivor of a space battle, and his father sets out to rescue him from alien captivity. The story proceeds briskly thereafter, thanks to Zahn's usual knack for swift pacing, plausible technology and characters, and a lived-in setting. Highly recommended to fans of action sf, this is also a good introduction for newcomers to Zahn's approach to the genre. Roland Green

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining, Jul 22 2003
By J. Michael Shepherd "isomeraser" (Oregon) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
With the first book of the Conqueror's trilogy, Zahn sets the mood for a gripping and exciting saga. When a fleet of human ships encounters a previously unknown species, they transmit a standard 'first contact' communication package. The aliens instantly open fire and destroy the entire task force in six minutes. As the human government moves towards war the saga focuses on the Cavanaugh family and thier involvement in the war. Zahn's development of specific technologies was facinating and unique. It is rare to find anyone in the SF field who can truely come up with anything new. If you are a SF fan I highly recommend that you read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zahn masters this genre., Oct 8 2002
By R. Belcher "rbelcher" (NC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read these books when they first came out, the whole trilogy, based on the fact that I loved Zahn's Star Wars set so well. I think no other SF writer has contrived such cool aliens or such a great misunderstanding between humans and ET's. I loaned this particular book to someone who did not return it (shame on them), and so now I am buying it again so I can reread the series over and over.

5.0 out of 5 stars A thrillig Military Sci-Fi book., Jun 17 2002
By Andrew (Vermont) - See all my reviews
Conqueror's Pride is the first book in a well conceived trilogy. Commander Pheylan Cavanagh, in charge of a space task force encounter a new race of aliens, and attempt to make first contact. However, when the radio package is sent over the airwaves, the mysterious aliens attack the force, destroying all of the ships and escape pods, save for Commander Pheylan Cavanagh's pod. They find him and take him prisoner. In the meantime, Cavanagh's father finds out about the disaster and uses his influence to organize a task force to find out what happened to his son and his fleet. Among his forces are Copperheads, fighter pilots who use an interlink to fly.
They then set out to find out what happened.
Cavanagh has been taken prisoner, and Zahn writes out this well. His discriptions of the aliens, who come in periotically to check up on Cavanagh and to study him, are well done. As Cavanagh learns more, we learn more, and soon he is plotting his escape from the aliens.
What happens is that he escapes, and a war is about to be fought between the Humans and the aliens.
Zahn does a great job with this book. It's top-notch Sci-Fi writing, down to the technical and social details of a galactic civilization.
Along with the action, Zahn throws politics in, and plays with that well. The senators don't want to find out what happened, and Cavanagh's father has to play behind the scenes illegaly to get a task force together.
The first contact situation is also well done, as I mentioned above. The aliens don't quite know what to make of Pheylan and probe him for his mentality and personallity.
A well done book.
