I'm going to start reading more of these older, shorter SF novels. ( ) What must be one of the longest running series in science-fiction. This is the first book which introduces us to Earl Dumarest. A travellor through a modern, yet almost medieval universe. We have yet to learn his purpose by the end of this volume, the search for his birthplace: Terra. But, we are introduced to a man who lives by his wits and above all his reflexes. This and the books that follow are good reads. Solid space opera with straightforward plots, a few regular allies and enemies, but well written and sustained across all 33 volumes. I love this series and have collected the entire 31 books and read them over and over again. It has been close to twenty years since I last read the series, in fact I have not read the last three books that I purchased. I had always planned on reading it once more but never seemed in the mood for the genre. Finally started book one and at first thought it would not catch my imagination and that I would not get my wish of rereading Dumarest but it did grab me, as of old, and my pleasure was sure. I had originally given this book four stars but these days I mostly give three unless a book is really something special and good as it was and pleasurable...it is what it is. My copy is so old it is one of the Ace Double books and I am about to turn the book over and start book 2 Derai. Pulp Adventure Science Fiction. Nothing to tax the brain too heavily, sometimes you need a break from worthy literary SF. This is the first in a series of 30+ novels. I believe there is one left unpublished, which is due in 2011. Hero visits planet on search for earth, finds girl, leaves girl and planet, on to the next planet, rinse and repeat. It's a formula, but an enjoyable one. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

But then, THEY come: Dumarest - a man with a strange past and a threatening future; the old Matriarch of the planet Kund with her ward Seena Thoth; the dangerous cyber Dyne and the Prince of Emmened - a sadist, with his fearful followers... And, according to legend, in the eerie storms which sweep the mountains of Gath, the dead arise and speak... No library descriptions found. |
