E X C E L L E N T !!!!!

The Amplitur had finally found a way of limiting the advancing Human Weave alliance, by creating an elite unit to match their Human counterpart, dispite the Ampliturs success, their plan backfires into something truely frightening. I enjoyed reading this story, the characters felt real, I wonder how would a Nazi officer feel if he found out that he was Jewish, and that other officers in his company were Jewish as well?? Mr fosters one hell of a writer, I thought A call to arms was the best in the series but this comes a close second, I eagerly await the next exciting installment!!!

THE FIRST TRUE SCI-FI BOOK IN YEARS

THE FALSE MIRROR PUT HUMANS AND ALIENS TOGETHER AT LAST AGAINST OTHER ALIENS. THE WAR CONSISTED OF EVERYTHING, AIR COMBAT, GROUND WAR, REACON. EVERYTHING A REAL WAR WOULD HAVE ALAN DEAN FOSTER HAS FINALLY PUT INTO A REALISTIC BOOK. FIRST OF ALL IT TELLS OF TEH YOUNG BOYS LIFE (NOT TO MUCH) THEN IT TELLS ABOUT HIS TRAINING. AND IT'S NOTHING SPECIAL, THEY DON'T HAVE EXTRMELY HIGH TECH WEAPONS THAT ARE IMPOSSIBLE AND COULD EASILY DEFEAT THE ENEMY WITH A MATTER OF MOMENTS WHEN THE WAR WAS DECLARED. IT IS ONLY THE SECOND PART OF A THREE BOOK SERIES AND I MEAN TO READ THE THIRD AND IF IT'S ANYTHING LIKE THE SECOND I PLAN ON HAVING QUITE A READING TIME. I GIVE IT TWO THUMBS UP

Genetic, psychic, and underrated.

This book, second in The Damned series, takes place during the war. A group of aliens that look similarly like humans find they were geneticly changed. They turn against the creatures that did it to them and are helped by the humans. When helped, it is found that they have gained psychic abilities. The False Mirror goes through the pain of being betrayed and the harshness of war. Foster creates many different types of aliens, each with a distinctive attitude and personality
