Product Description

From the Back Cover

THREE-CORNERED WAR

As a plebe at the Acadamy Justin Bell was on the to making his dreams come true: traveling in space. But, even in the 22nd century, cold hard reality has a way of frustrating dreams. There was tension between Earth and the far-flung colonies in the solar system. The colonists had demanded more freedom than Earth was willing to grant and so Mars declared its independence. No other colonies had broken away, and war had not broken out yet but the situation was dangerous. To make things worse, contact had just been made with extraterrestrials very unfriendly contact....

The times were the sort that made for exciting reading when they were safely embalmed in the history books, but were less than comfortable for those living through them. But Justin had the stuff of heroes which was fortunate for him, and for Earth....

4.0 out of 5 stars Good juvenile book that's also OK for some adults, April 22 2004
By Ed Burkhead (East Peoria, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Written as a book for juvenile SF readers, I still enjoyed it at age 50. This is the kind of book I'll give to my daughter when she's a couple of years older.

Similar to many coming of age stories, the characters have to work their way through lots of hurdles from their own personal inadequacies, the societies' problems and action/peronal danger.

I just finished re-reading Star Voyager Academy, I'm about to go through this one again. I'm hoping it's true that there's a third in the series.

Excellent for kids. Relaxing and pleasant for adults.

1.0 out of 5 stars Was this book written for kids?, May 23 2003
By B. Hastings (Phoenix, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've never read a book with am more predictable, mundane plot than Article 23. About half way through the book I began to wonder if it was written for younger readers. The idea of using towers to climb into space was interesting, yet served no useful function in the book besides being a unique way of getting the characters into space. I got so fed up with it that around 2/3 of the way through, I had to skip to the end just to be done with it. Of course, the ending was exactly what I expected, making me glad I did not waste any more time reading the book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but ..., Mar 10 2001
By Mustafa ISILAK "m842" (ISTANBUL Turkey) - See all my reviews
It is a good book for entertainment but cant said to be a good literature. It may even be in the category of "children sf books". For teenagers I would highly recommend but for adult sf lovers no need to read.

This story harkens to the "Horatio Hornblower" novels as much as Robert Heinlein's "Starship Troopers. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Clear writing, disappointing and juvenille plot
Not having read the first book, I can't say if this sequel was better or worse than the first. However, as a standalone novel, I was disappointed by this book. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Space Opera!
Fortchen's second installment in the "Star Voyager Academy" series is a good one!
