Ressenyes
I enjoyed book 1 slightly more but found myself unable to put this book down.
Set up for an exciting finale.
Set up for an exciting finale.
How come people don't rave about Jack Chalker?
I loved this book.
I loved the way it has set things up for the next 2 books in the series.
3 empires with different philosophies, but similar mixes of human and alien members.
This book covers the previous mission of each team of talents from each of the empires before they converge on the demon planet. 3 stories with different casts, each generally with a different dilemna and a bit of a twist in the solution, sort of who-dunnits.
Actually having trouble deciding which team I'm barracking for or who my favourite character is.
Hope I don't get disappointed with the next book.… (més)

Intriguing beginning, somewhat anticlimactic ending. Full of the usual Chalker body changing and sex stuff.

4 stars Book 1
3.5 stars Book 2
3 stars Book 3
Great build-up in Book 1,
Action and plot development in Book 2,
But Book 3 just felt like it dragged a bit, and then the climax was a bit too simple after all the build-up.
