Absolutely brilliant

It has been a couple of days now since I finished Fisherman's Hope. I must say that it one of the most hard-hitting and emotive "sci-fi" novels I have ever read (and I don't read much sci-fi). I loved it. The inter-relationships between the characters and the whole attitude of the main character, Nick Seafort, is just brilliant, executed with a passion that brings him to life. Thank you David Feintuch for your portrayal of Nick Seafort. Truly fantastic!

The Seafort Saga ends with a flourish

This is the last book in the Seafort saga which actually deals with Nick Seafort himself. Having somehow survived countless alien attacks and the wrath of the Admiralty, he is assigned to the Academy to help train cadets having become an international hero. Those of you who have read the other Seafort books will know what Nick thought of that . . . Once in the Academy he is faced with international crisis and an alien armada advancing on Earth, and hatches a plan to defeat them that will condemn him for the rest of his life. This is a worthy end to the Nick Seafort saga, and it has an interesting twist at the end which will surprise those who have stuck with the series from the beginning.

Best Scifi book I've read

Not just this book, but all five of the Seafort saga books have been my favourites since i read them. i recommend anyone who likes scifi or navy books to read these. david feintuch has managed to write a series that draws the reader totally into the story. the characters of the story became so real to me and have never departed my memory. This book will make you laugh, cry and keep you on the edge of your seat eagerly turning to the next page. I could write pages and pages of praise for David Feintuch, an inspiration to would-be writers.

Book 4 of the Seafort saga is Exciting, and mesmerizing

The Seafort saga's fourth volume is exciting, and action packed Just like the previous three. Nicholas Seafort finds his faith, and courage once again tested to it's limits. The storyline is fast moving, and will keep you glued to the book.
