Customer Reviews

Wonderful to read and re-read.

I read the first of these books when I was in 7th grade. It took me two years to locate a copy of the 2nd book and two more to find the 3rd. It was well worth the wait and I stayed up all night to read the final book. The characters are wonderfully crafted, the story line is multilevel. The only books I have read more times are "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Lord of the Rings". If you can locate a copy of these in a used book store, buy them! Don't let the romance novel apperance keep you from enjoying these great books.

I like chips in brown gravy

Why does every book I like go out of print! Clearly my mother was cursed. That said, this is an excellent trilogy (containing very plausible character development). It also has swords and spaceships! Whoopee! However, I must admit I skipped the sociological chapters (and I'm a lecturer).

A fully realized future history.

I seldom read anything except poetry and Shakespeare more than once. I have read this trilogy through three times. Like any great work of history it presents a fully realized, complex society, and compelling characters - heroes and villians, saints and sinners. I truly wish it had been produced in hard cover.
