Product Description

From AudioFile

The Starfist series is military science fiction aimed at the young adult audience. The central characters are Marines gathered in a space-borne fighting unit called a FIST who travel from world to world doing what Marines do. In this volume, John Bedford Lloyd provides the narration as the Marines are sent to quell a peasant rebellion but instead are greeted with a much more difficult battle involving an alien race they call the Skinks. Lloyd's narration, accompanied by sound effects and music, successfully increases the action and suspense in the story.

Product Description

2 cassettes, 2 hours

The Marines of the 34th FIST embark on what they believe will be a simple police action to restore peace on a world ruled by competing religious factions. Instead, they find themselves cut-off, surrounded and fighting for their lives against a force of superior alien creatures known only as "Skinks." With their acid weapons and fanatical disregard for life - theirs and especially the Marines they have vowed to exterminate - the Skinks may be the toughest foe the Marines have faced yet.

4.0 out of 5 stars 34th FIST on deployment, Jun 25 2002

By	Eric Giard "sun52tzu" (Montreal, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starfist: Kingdom's Swords (Mass Market Paperback)

I really enjoyed the book. Although, I will have to wait for the next book to conclude my opinion on this book. The cliffhanger is kind of weird since the whole story of the book doesn't seem to end.

Also, for the first time, the authors tried to do more than one storyline and it feels kind of weird. One of the storyline brings nothing to the actual story or the 34th FIST Marine. This could explain on why they did not conclude the story since they had already too much.

Overall, it is still a good StarFist book. Different from the previous one but this is what bring the joy in reading :o)

2.0 out of 5 stars Not quite up to others, Jun 18 2002

By	Abagadro "abagadro" (Salt Lake City, Utah United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starfist: Kingdom's Swords (Mass Market Paperback)

More of a 2 1/2

I enjoyed this book, but did not think it was up to the previous in the series. The main problem was that it was disjointed in its plotting and pace. It felt like they had the basic book together and then created a separate plot line (or two) and wedged it in there. It broke up the main story and created a lack of cohesion that was bothersome. Sherman and Cragg have pulled off parallel plots before with great success, so I know they can do it. They just seemed all over the place in this one.

(Minor spoiler alert)This is also the first book where the major campaign was not completed. I'm not adverse to cliffhangers per se, but there wasn't really any true build up and the termination seemed arbitrary.

I still loved the characters and the writing itself is as exciting as usual. I hope these fine authors can get back on a more cohesive track with the next volume.

4.0 out of 5 stars Go Sherman and Cragg!!!,, Jun 6 2002

By	General Pete (SC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Starfist: Kingdom's Swords (Mass Market Paperback)

In this book the 34th is up agienst their old foes from Society 437. They take casualties but then their problems are just begining. A band of terrorists(Have I read this somewhere before) go to earth on a mission and it is up to the marines to stop them. In this case I think the authors draw an interesting parelle. Christian fanatisim can be just as deadly as the islamic kind(Read the book to see what I mean)
