First strike misses on a technicality.
4 Nov 2002
Format:Paperback
As a fan of the Carrier series, I found the book to have a great storyline. Non-stop action in the Douglass tradition. However, the abundant errors in context, tense, and spelling ruin an otherwise great read. Better editing is in order if the series is to continue.

Not the best, but not the worst either.
29 Dec 2001
Format:Paperback
Not as good as the first 8 or 9 but a lot better than the last few. Douglass is on his way to the magic that used to be the Carrier saga, but he is not quite there yet. If you are a fan of the series you will probably want to get it, but if you are not it would be better to start with the earlier books. I read it in an afternoon and think it was worth my money.

the series is making a comeback
3 Mar 2003
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I agree with a previous reviewer. This one improved on the last few books in the series but it's still not as good as the early ones. The editing improved a bit. Some of the action was implausible in real life but didn't detract from the story. The submarine was a scene stealer and made it exciting.
The thing that disturbs me most is that the author barely mentioned an important recurring character at the beginning of book 16, killed the character off at the end of book 17 after not being mentioned anywhere else in the story, and then in books 18 and 19 acted as if the character disappeared in book 16 not 17. He's writing the books so fast he can't even keep track of his own characters.
