Outer Darkness

Well M.E. you did it again. At the beginning of the Trilogy I had a hard time following it. I didn't really understand the reason behind going to the alternate earths. But at the end of Outer Darkness, everything made Perfect Sense! It was to date, the best you have written. The way things are going, it won't be long before Outlanders begins to out sell Deathlands! The character interaction, as always, was superb. The story flowed beautifully. There were some interesting Star Trek references! I'm embarrased to admit that most had to be pointed out to me! Ah well. Keep up the good work as always! A fan till the end.

As a fan of all things space opera, I was pleasantly surprised by the alternate world visited in this book--and the fact that it seemed so authentic. I can easily imagine the author writing Star Trek and Star Wars novels. "Outer Darkness" is one of the best novels in the series, very entertaining and enjoyable all the way through.

The last part in the Lost Earths Saga was a thrill-ride from start to finish. It kept me turning pages until the wee hours of the morning. A terrific book.

Once again Outlanders bridges the gap between just another sweaty men's adventure series and a "legitmate" genre. This is a cutting edge series with sharp, intelligent heroes who know victory doesn't always rely who has the biggest guns. Big brains help, too. Fast-moving, funny at times and even tragic, this novel is a classic in the series. Loose ends are tied up and I felt sort of sorry to see Beth-Li go. The space-opera part of the novel was riveting, wonderfully detailed, but it reminded me more of Starship Troopers or Hammer's Slammers than Star Trek. "Outer Darkness" is one the best in a great adventure series.

This book blew me away it was so good, with all kinds of unexpected things happening in it. It kept me guessing all the way through. I was really surprised by what Kane did with the Chintamanti Stone at the end. This is another great book in the Outlanders series.
