Agent of Destruction

This reads as though the author set out to write space opera in the style of the golden age authors. The protagonists are clever and smug, and the technology vague, but that doesn't make it a bad read. The plot line holds together well, and if you are willing to forgive a little uber-ness on the part of the protagonist, the characters are likeable (except the villans of course). I enjoyed reading it and I'd reccomend it for most SF readers.

This book was "dropped in my lap" a few weeks ago, but, because the title didn't interest me, I didn't intend to read it. What a mistake I almost made! The story is full of suspense, with an intricate and interesting plot. Although the ultimate outcome is predictable, the journey there is full of surprises. Once I started reading, I couldn't put the book down until I reached the last page.

This is a very good sci-fiction book. It's not anything like Star Wars, but it's just as exciting. If you're the type of person who likes intellectual kind of books with not too much wham-bamm-kaboom action, this is the book for you. It's also about the diabolical human nature, in the terms of loyalty, greed for power over others, and what desperate people do in desperate situations. This guy can really cover every little detail in this story, sometimes it's unbelievable! A really great book by a great writer and not to be missed!
