Customer Reviews

Great camp, but goes on a little too long

This book is a really good adventure story, involving a Han Solo-like smuggler. The story is camp, but fun camp. It would be five stars except for one problem. I understand the need to set up for a sequel, since this is a trilogy, but Dietz was too blatant about it. He literally inserted an unrelated short-story, thinly disquised as one or two chapters at the end, just to set up for the next book. All conflict had already been resolved, the problems in this story were unrelated, but he apparently believes this is how you close the book. Other than that it would have been 5 stars.

No legion but..

While drifter is no Legion of the Damned it still is a very good book with fun characters and lots of action. Like most Dietz books this one is short and you'll propably read it in about two days (one if you have a lot of time) but short reads are nice inbetween the big books.

not just GOOD

This is some of the BEST space opera. The end part serves as a mechanism to get you interested in the sequel(s) - which it did !
