The Bialien Trilogy: Rise of the Bialiensapien: Human Evolved Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"'The Bialien Trilogy - Rise of the Bialiensapien: Human Evolved' by Vlane Carter is not your typical sci-fi novel. Think of a comic book that uses words instead of illustrations and you might come close. One thing that the writer certainly has is imagination. It is written very visually. Bialien follows the journey of a nineteen-year old named Jaden, who travels to a far galaxy and back to Earth. Along his travels he meets up with creative characters and clever technology. If you are a reader that enjoys details, Vlane writes convincing science to back up his creativity.
Bialien begins quickly and doesn't let up. Jaden's journey ends up back on Earth with him having super human powers and the help from an entertaining sidekick. Due to time distillation, he finds himself young while the planet has changed rapidly. Technology has changed, but ignorance still rears its ugly head. Jaden, knowing of the impending danger approaching, must battle to save the planet with a corrupt government in power and also save the girl. The rapid pace keeps the reader moving forward, but I found that some of the action scenes were a drawn out.
You may tell by his style that Vlane is very passionate about his writing. It takes time and effort to envision and write a novel of this length without losing the energy throughout it. Bialien is his first novel, and, from his marketing material and website, certainly not his last. It is always interesting to see the first story written and how writing styles evolve from book to book. Let's see where Volume Two takes us." - TBR TopBookReviewers

Secrets of the Jedi (Star Wars) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was one of my favorite's by Jude Watson so forgive me if this review is slightly biased. I truly loved this book. Instead of focusing on a mission, grand scale battles and beheadings of certain Bounty Hunters, Secrets of the Jedi emphasized the morals and sacrafices of the Jedi. We get to see the three different Jedi (Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Anakin) deal with their love in three different ways. Qui-Gon, first of all, did not have the chance to make the tearing decision that Obi-Wan had to make in Secrets of the Jedi, thus, there was no internal conflict. I must add that I thought the conversation between him, Yoda and Obi-Wan at the end was wonderfully potrayed. I felt just as awful as Obi-Wan when he had to make his decision. Then we see Obi-Wan faced again with the choice of continuing his life as Jedi or bailing out again for something else (this 'something' to be Siri.) His love for her was geniune but yet he made the choice to let her go. And finally we see Anakin's and Padme's relationship which can only be summed into one word: Possession. I think this book was a nice fit for Episode Three, in the sense that we can see that possession between Anakin and Padme. We can see the foreshadowing and why Anakin was never truly committed to the Jedi and why it was so easy for him to turn.
I enjoyed this book and I could really sense more passion put into it than many of Watson's last few. A must read for those who aren't fond of swinging lightsabers (although there is plently in the book) and are more fond of seeing character development. Toasts to Watson for this exciting read!

The Nanotech War (Star Trek Voyager) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, don't be misled by the cover art. Don't *ever* be misled by cover art! Haven't we all learned this lesson? Although intriguing, it does not mean this is a P/7 story, as some avid P/Ters were certain of when this book first appeared. While the story's key players happen to be Paris and Seven, their plotlines go in different directions.
In fact, this story, set after the Paris/Torres nuptials but before Miral, has enough P/T moments in it to qualify as naughty fanfic, if lines like "And that was all either of them said for quite some time." or "Then she kissed him. Hard." were expanded a paragraph or two. As an avid P/Ter myself, I was able to fill in those particular blanks very nicely, thank you. And speaking of Miral, I don't think this story is set too much before her. Torres is nauseous enough times to make me suspicious, and one time she actually pukes, so, hey, you do the math.
Obviously, a story about people who use nanotechnology almost exclusively would eventually involve Seven rather intimately, but the Paris subplot leaks dangerously into the gratuitous plot device, involving as it does "accidental" kidnapping and amnesia in Our Favorite Pilot. I'll let you figure out what happens when he's returned to the ship without his memory. (These people, by the way, named the Chiar, were described as looking something like St. Bernard dogs, but I kept calling them the Chair and imagining my dining room. Funny what a one-letter switch will do to a word, huh?)
Janeway, unfortunately, does little in this book but stomp from the bridge to her ready room and figure *everything* out in the last dozen pages or so. Fortunately, we've seen this enough times in Trek, so the "too much, too fast," ending is no surprise.
And you can see, after all this, I still gave the book four stars. That's because: a) I love Star Trek Voyager, and b) I thought it was an enjoyable read, if not a memorable one. Despite the numerous typos and odd repeated use of the same word in the same sentence (i.e., "Seven shut the tricorder and headed for the mouth of the alley, her mouth set in a grim line."), there were enough clever moments to make this book worthwhile.
One final note of caution: If you're not a fan of C/7, then you'd better watch your step with this one. It is most certainly pointing in that direction. But at least we're given a clue about how C/7 got its start, something distinctly missing from the show. And that clue was believeable and well-written, IMNSHO.

The Swarm War (Star Wars: Dark Nest, Book 3) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was on the fence regarding the whole of the "Dark Nest" trilogy. While I share Han's attitudes towards bugs (terrestrial and otherwise), I kept an open mind throughout. If Denning's trilogy was as much a depature from the status quo as it seemed--well, I endured all nineteen of the NJO series, so what harm is there in a Killik-centric trilogy?
Seeing as how this was both an epilogue to events left unfinished in Denning's novels "Star by Star" and "Tatooine Ghost" (not to mention Luke learning the circumstances surrounding his mother and father during the rise of Darth Vader), the trilogy worked well enough.
As for "The Swarm War," Denning manages to bring the oft-mentioned Myrkr mission/disaster to an emotional close; indeed, that Raynar was able to call the survivors to his side shows that the boy will undoubtedly play a potentially significant role in the upcoming "Legacy of the Force" saga. Yet this hook, with the whole Joiner subplot, really wasn't as great as I was hoping. The conclusion, that final showdown between Luke and Lomi Plo (honestly, doubt as a weapon is a grand idea. But not in the hands of an incompetent Nightsister with insectile prostheses) was a disappointment, as was the confrontation between Jacen and Luke. While the Solo child may never receive his comeuppance, it was disheartening to see that Luke could be so dissuaded by his nephew. Indeed, it seems that Jacen has somehow managed to turn Luke's doubt into a tool towards Jacen's own ends; this is one of those little threads that left me wondering what was next. Mind you, I liked that not everything was resolved, and that's what will bring me to press on.
Now, as for the Jaina/Zekk Joiner/Love interest subplot...it needed to die in "Swarm War." It didn't appear to provide any substance to the overall saga save for hitting home for the Alliance what being a Joiner meant. It was that I found hardest to tolerate; despite the three years that had passed since the recapture of Coruscant, Jaina seems to have forgotten what the war cost her emotionally.
But, we do see more of the Jedi turmoil--I'm curious to see where the Grand Master honorific will lead, not to mention the ultimatum issued by Luke in regards to the establishment of the Order. And we've apparently a resolution between the Galactic Alliance vis-a-vis Chief Omas and the Jedi.
Perhaps most gratifying was the return of Admiral Pellaeon as Supreme Commander of Alliance forces and his devotion to the Jedi.
If there is a Jedi Civil War on the horizon, this book was a good setup. If there's nothing more than another alien threat or new Dark Jedi on the rise (we've all heard the rumors of Lady Lumiya (sic?) from the X-Wing comic series making a return), than this might very well be the last time we'll see our heroes at their fighting best.
Still, this book has what one expects from Denning: clear-cut prose, a fast pace, and on-spot characterization that makes one confident that the rich characters of the Star Wars universe are in the hands of a fine author who is, as we know, capable of delivering much more.
