2.0�toiles sur 5 Too much tortured soul, D�c 13 2003

Par	"tollick" - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Prisoner's Hope (Mass Market Paperback)

This series is a painful one to read. Nick Seafort suffers from two problems: the typical hero's being in all the wrong places at the wrong time, and his personal and bizarre code with which he tortures himself at every turn. This story is worst than most, as more and more characters seem to have this trait of unbreakable personal codes for which any violation is unforgivable. It makes any character interactions painful to read as you wonder who will say or do the wrong thing to offend honor or duty and be eternally ostracized. The science fiction, however, is gripping. If Feintuch were to devote more to SF and less to gloom, he'd be fantastic.

This review is from: Prisoner's Hope (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked up the Seafort saga 6 days ago and just could not stop. From Midshipman's Hope to Challenger's Hope to the end of Prisoner's Hope I am still hooked badly and will no doubt finish the rest of the 4 books in the next week. I just have to pause to praise the first 3 books of the series. Some reviews do not seem to think too highly of Nick Seafort but I found myself liking the hero. Raised by a deeply religious and stern father one could understand Nick's fears for God, the high standards he set for himself and his angst. The plot is riveting though depressing in Challenger's Hope. I found myself near tears a few times in Challenger's Hope and Philip's heroic sacrifice is heart rending though it is to be expected in military science fiction. Feintuch has written a great action packed saga with well developed characters and I am glad to add him to my list of must read writers.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Not as good as the first two, but still a decent book, Mars 12 2003

Par	Empyreal (LA, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Prisoner's Hope (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm rereading the Seafort Saga so that I will be refreshed as to waht's going on in Children of Hope and Patriarch's Hope (which weren't out when I first read the saga).

In this book, Seafort is confronted again with a hopeless sitaution (you gotta begin to wonder what kind of sucky luck he has). Hope Nation seems to be a magnet for the fish - the alien species that is haunting the people - and the military doesnt know what to do about it. THe people on the planet are getting pretty [ticked] off that they're being treated like a colony (Feintuch apparantly really likes British history and you can see a lot of similarities in his books), so they want independence. They're [ticked], Seafort's whiny about how he screws everything up all the while screwing more stuff up and trying to make everything better... and there's a lack of depth for almost all the characters involved except Seafort. Even Alexi becomes whiny! Feintuch does seem to have a difficult time putting depth into more than two characters, but the characters he does put depth into... you either become really attached to them or really hate them. So the author is good at evoking emotions in the readers, which is a rare talent.

Feintuch has a rare gift to draw the readers in and get them addicted. The book is suspenseful, although not nearly as much of a page turner as the first two were. I was extremely dissatisfied how things were handled between Nick and Vax. In general, I'm just getting sick of Nick (which I did the first time reading them, too). but, the book is still good... and it's planet-based, so it isn't as sci-fi ish as the other ones. I still recommend the book, but I believe Feintuch should've put more effort into the characters... make them stop sounding like snivelling brats.
