5.0 out of 5 stars A Case for a Classic, Dec 28 1999

By	"warriorchick" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Day for Damnation (Mass Market Paperback)

The War against the Chtorr series of books was first published in the mid eighties. At a later point, the incomplete series was rereleased with a few changes. I first read the first three novels in a single hardback collection that I borrowed from a friend's house, and loved it. At the time, I was unaware that David Gerrold had also written "the Trouble with Tribbles." This set has been with me through multiple moves, and is the last book I will read this millenium. This series has not become dated--in fact, many of the thoughts remain refreshingly new. David has created a very complete world that is easy to enjoy. The characterizations are complex, the plot engaging, and along with the intense descriptions combine to present a seamless experience. However, the series remains unfinished, so ultimately, you must resolve the fate of the world yourself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hurry up
Some of us will die before this dude gets around to writing another book. The story is pretty good but who wants to wait 5 years for the next installment?

4.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the weakest of the series...
It may be the weakest of the series but it's the weakest of a great bunch! If you read A Matter for Men and then this book within a short space of time you may be a little... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the ten best SF books ever
Although Gerrold spends time warning the reader that the book is not meant to be didactic, it could be one of the best business books ever written. Read more
