Better than the Movie!

Before I ever knew about this book I saw the Movie Wing Commander, and I was a little disapointed with it. I was expecting more, and there was a lot of potential for this story to becoma something like Star Trek or even Star Wars. But unfortunately it wasn't. Then I found out about this book, bought it and read it. And it was EXCELENT! Much better than the movie, really fun to read, really enjoyable, and not tiring at all! Great action, great story, great characters. Too bad PETER TELEP wasn't envited to write the movie script as well. I was really glad I bought it, and I recomend it for all the sci fi fans out there!

YOUR'RE THE MAN !

Author Peter Telep took a good movie into a GREAT BOOK.

Wing Commander Movie Novelization

Wing Commander the greatest P.C game in history finally comes to the silverscreen and then paperback. This book combines all the elements of the movie and then some. This book is a perfect match of waht the movie should have been there is action,romance and a traitor subplot that make the whole book worthwhile. READ THIS BOOK. This a perfect 5

BUY THIS BOOK NOW! its great!

This is a truely well written , funny , action-packed realistic book. I loved every chapter , and some things that are so great about the book haven't even been mentioned in the movie ( seeing the war from the kilrathi's eyes was a great touch) I hope that Peter Telep continues this high standard of quality into the 2 sequels , because he has built an excellent foundation to work off of.

Peter Telep raises the bar for Wing Commander books

The WC universe has finally found itself an author who respects the source material and who can also tell one hell of a story - and the fan's have never had it so good. While Baen's Wing Commander novels usually cause the more fanatical WingNuts headaches with their continuity errors, this movie adaptation does just the opposite; it actually takes time to explain such problems caused by the movie's script! (according to the movies producers they `ignored' much of the original material - thank Sivar Peter Telep didn't). Of course, the writing also shines - anyone familiar with Peter Telep's previous books (Space: Above and Beyond, Descent) knows he can tell a great war story. I'm eagerly looking forward to the second book in the series, so we can see what the author can do without having to base everything around a movie script!
