Indlæser... Sir Dominic Flandry: The Last Knight of Terraaf Poul Anderson
   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. 2   Valashain | Feb 19, 2011 |   Nothing much to say about A Plague of Masters, the first novel. Hunters of the Sky Cave has much of interest, including a delightful demonstration of Anderson's ability to fully imagine interesting aliens. The short story's--well, a short story, about how the empire's disintegrating right before Flandry's eyes. A Knight of Ghosts and Shadows--the final novel in this book--is by far the most elaborate tale in the entire van Rijn/Falkayn/Flandry set. Captain Flandry's getting old, and it's starting to wear on him. The novel's convoluted, carefully plotted, and a bit experimental. I can't say everything works, but it's an impressive effort, and on the whole it's successful. And Kossara's far more appealing than most of the women in this series. By the way, this is the first ebook in the set which was clearly built from scanned pages. I was a bit surprised. There weren't a lot of errors, but enough to annoy. One rather suspects the editors are growing bored with the project.... This review has also been published on a dabbler's journal.

HTML: A KNIGHT WITHOUT ARMOR IN A SAVAGE GALAXY Captain Dominic Flandry has been knighted for his many services to the Terran Empireâ??an Empire which is old, jaded, and corrupt, as Flandry well knowsâ??but he also knows that the Empire is better than anything that is likely to take its place. And while that "Sir" before his name may be an added attraction to comely ladies (not that he has ever lacked for the pleasant company of the same), he expects that it will also bring him less welcome attention from envious "colleagues" within the empire. What it is not likely to do is make him more of an object of interest to the alien Merseians, whose plots against the Empire he has repeatedly foiled. They already are as aware as they can be of how much simpler their plans to rule the galaxy would be if their most dangerous adversary were the late Sir Dominic Flandry. This is the sixth volume in the first complete edition of Poul Anderson's Technic Civilization saga.
