1.0�toiles sur 5 I couldn't finish it..., D�c 24 2002

Par	SouthernFried "southernfried" (San Antonio, Tx) - Voir tous mes commentaires

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

If you read the previous books...STOP RIGHT THERE!

Seaforts' guilt trip is just too exhausting to read anymore. 'Nuff said about that.

The authors pro-environmentalist stance is spotlighted through Seaforts "obvious" religious and anti-environmentalist idiocy. In this world, the earth has been ravaged by neglect and horrible business practices. What every enviro-extremist expects to happen. Well, it happens in this book, and Seafort just doesn't care about it, and figures we just move to other planets....Gimme a break.

I just couldn't handle the enviro sermons, Seaforts guilt and idiocy, the homosexuality, the blind love and worship of Seafort by everyone...it was a little sickening. Couldn't stomach it anymore.

Read the previous books in the series tho. As usually, the first one was the best...slowly dwindling to this.

This review is from: Patriarch's Hope (Hardcover)

This was my first introduction to the Nicholas Seafort series, and after this book, I won't be reading any of the other novels. Here, Seafort is the Secretary General of the United Nations, in a future that is culturally like the 18th century. The government is abusive, religion is everywhere and state-sponsored, and environmental collapse looms just around the corner. Seafort willfully blinds himself to the environmental problems, convincing himself its God's will! Only, after a couple hundred pages of activism and persuasion on the part of his son, he becomes convinced otherwise, and finally tries to do something about it.
This installment of the series illustrated how flawed a character Nicholas Seafort is, and unfortunately, I just can't stomach someone that dumb, pigheaded, and guilt-ridden as a protagonist.

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

Patriarch's Hope is another outstanding chapter in the Seafort Saga. As set in his ways at sixty as he was in his younger years, Nick Seafort lives by his own set of rules that include integrity, honor and respect. His loyalty to his beloved U.N. Navy is unwavering. It makes it all the harder to accept when that same U.N. Navy threatens his government and earth itself in a broad rebellion. The conflict between the Enviro factions and the Navy place Nick Seafort right in the middle. It is his son who ultimately influences his decision on which force is right. As usual, the plot is filled with action and intrigue guaranteed to hold the reader's attention.

Mr. David Feintuch is a remarkably talented author. The Seafort Saga is the best science fiction series I've ever read. I've ordered his first fantasy novel, The Still, and somehow, I know it's going to be outstanding. It's my 'hope' that Patriarch's Hope doesn't end the series.

2.0�toiles sur 5 This franchise has run its course
I used to like Nick Seafort. David Feintuch is a fan of the Horatio Hornblower books, but Hornblower mellowed out as he got older and more secure. Read more

2.0�toiles sur 5 Ah well - a filler between two better ones
I said it - Voices of Hope and Children of Hope are, in my opinion, both much better than this one.

Nick is a general nuisance in this book. Read more
