5.0�toiles sur 5 Best science fiction series ever, Sep 15 2000

Par Un client

This review is from: Darkover - The Founding: Darkover Landfall (Paperback)

I recommend that a new reader of science fiction in general or of Marion Zimmer Bradley begin with this book, since it is chronologically the first Darkover novel. The series is my all time favorite, closely followed by the Riverworld series of Pilip Jose Farmer and the Dune Series. Anyway, the best book of all is "The Heritage of Hastur" but they are all terrific. MZB liked "The Heritage of Hastur" best, herself, I remember reading somewhere. This is a REAL science fiction series, not a fantasy series, and it is the best of the best.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Too Short!, Ao� 1 2000

Par	A.J. Chodan (Rochester, NY United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Darkover - The Founding: Darkover Landfall (Paperback)

Really, that's my only serious complaint about the book. I would have liked to see MZB spend more time on the founding of what became Darkover. Given that I haven't become bored with Darkover books more than twice as long (Stormqueen! comes to mind, for example), she obviously would have been capable of it. Also, in the short novel with a teeny little 14-years-later epilogue, we're presented with at least as large of an ensemble cast as the one found in Stormqueen!, and I couldn't develop the same amount of affection for the characters because there just wasn't TIME. I would have loved to know more about Judy and her daughter Lori, or about what Father Valentine did after initially beginning his "penance," but it just wasn't there.

That depressed me.

Otherwise, the book is quite good. I particularly enjoyed the evolution of the names that become important in later novels. (Del Rey becomes Delleray, New Skye becomes Neskaya, etc.)

4.0�toiles sur 5 Survival on a distant planet, Mai 10 2000

Par	Larry Eischen (Joliet, IL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Darkover - The Founding: Darkover Landfall (Paperback)

This book, chronologically the first in the Darkover series, is more science fiction oriented than the others. It tells a fascinating story of the survivors of a shipwreck on the planet Darkover. The crew faces the problems of dealing with new lifeforms and their effects on humans and meet with the mysterious Ghost Wind, a strange force which affects their emotional states. Very short ( an evening's read) as novels go, it is a good introduction to Bradley, her Darkover series and would serve as a good intro to science fiction in general.

I read this one and thought it was pretty good...though at some times I was kind of confused...but now I've read most of the Darkover books and know what they're talking about.
