5.0 out of 5 stars Hard-boiled space opera at its best, Sep 3 2000

By	Anders Lundberg (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Galactic Bounty (Paperback)

The McCade series of 1. "Galactic Bounty" (earlier published as "War world"), 2. "Imperial bounty", 3. Alien bounty", and 4. "McCade's bounty"; presents a completely new kind of science fiction character in Sam McCade. McCade is the bounty hunter within the terran empire that finds himself in the center of intergalactic politics and conflicts where his past military career in the terran fleet catches up with him. Hard-boiled and impossible to corrupt; McCade is facing adventures, together with his two odd friends Rico and Phil, that could be described as a unique mix of a wild west novel set in a military science fiction world with a flavor of Jack Vance and Robert Henlein. You will not be disappointed. Try also his other novels in the "legion" series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Large Reward for GALACTIC BOUNTY, April 6 2000

By	J McCree (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Galactic Bounty (Paperback)

I have scoured many bookshelves and read much pulp, But I found a true treasure with this little gem. Dietz has created a larger than life life story that reads exceptionally well. It is very apparent that Dietz values the reader, and doesn't subject them to bunk. Pure Joy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captivating from the Start, Mar 9 2000

By	Richard J Meyer Jr (Pittsburgh Pa USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Galactic Bounty (Paperback)

I read this book when it was War World, and completely and utterly enjoyed it. Although, I've read well over 200 sci-fi books, Galactic Bounty (War World) has become and will remain one of my favorites. I highly recommend this book as well as the series. Long live McCade!
