5.0 out of 5 stars Feintuch does it again 28 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I picked up the first novel in the Seafort Saga one day in 1999. The next day, I was back at the bookshop buying the other three that had been published at that point. I snapped up Voices of Hope, Patriarch's Hope and now Children of Hope the moment I saw them. Although the Seafort Saga floundered a little at Voices of Hope, Patriarch's Hope brought it back online and Children of Hope just keeps getting better. It's fascinating to see Nick Seafort from somebody else's point of view and just as interesting to get another perspective on the world in which he lives.

As always, Feintuch gets the perfect combination of character development and exciting action, with each influencing the other.

I can't recommend this series enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb. A brilliant addition to the Seafort saga. 22 July 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Where can I start? Feintuch does it again. A stroke of genius. I have enjoyed the story of Nicholas Seafort right from when I first picked up Midshipman's Hope. Of course I expected no less when I started to read Children, why should Feintuch flounder now? In a word: Brilliant.

About the actual plot of the book, I will try to express my opinion without ruining it for people who may consider reading it. It moves at a very healthy pace, except in some areas I did find it a bit rushed. I was immensely pleased when reading about the return of the Fish, but I did not expect them to return in such a different light. Another thing that caught me by suprise was the return of Chris Dakko. It's brilliant that Feintuch is re-using some of his old material. I find introduction of masses of new characters a tad annoying. Dakko was not the only old character to be re-introduced. I simply couldn't believe it when I read it. Overall, a very enjoyable read, and very easy to follow. Some may get confused by the communication with the aliens, but that it probably the only problem many will encounter.

Buy this book. Read it. Then read all the other books in the series again. Now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Return to Hope 3 Sep 2002
By D. Sims - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is an excellant sequel in this particular series; I find it a return to the roots of the series and a distinct step up from the past couple of books. After leaving the world of Hope for the last few books in this series we return to there and to various colonial issues. Here too for the first time the role of the church as it plays in politics is brought into the main themes. We again see Seafort's rather particular sense of honor put to the test in various ways along with the newest of his child "projects" Randy Carr who provides the POV for most of this novel.

This is a very busy book; plots and sub-plots abound. You need a scorecard to keep track of who is playing what roles as the story unfolds. It is also very fast paced, not an easy book to put down. For serious readers of this series elements (and characters) of the other novels are presented, and occasional loose ends tied up.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far David Feintuch's best! 4 Jan 2002
By Remiclud - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
My local library just got in the Seafort Saga, and without really knowing what I picked Midshipman's Hope up and started reading it. Wow! I was hit with an awesome look at the future and really felt like I knew and could relate to the book's main character, Nick Seafort. Since then I couldn't put the books down. Now, six books later, I think that Children of Hope is an awesome volume in the continuing saga, but it also stands out uniquely on it's own. With a new main character, fourteen-year-old Randy Carr who is in desperate need of a father, Nick Seafort and his cast of familiar characters are not put on the back-burner, but rather closely intigrated into this young boy's fresh persective to make for some interesting plot twists and very realistic characters. This is a must-read for any fan of science-fiction or military novels!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Saga Continues... 27 April 2001
By Roy J. Meek - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Well, overall I loved this book. I loved every book in the series, but this one is better than most. I rank it up there with "Fisherman's Hope" (my personal favorite). The action is non-stop and you really care about the characters. There is very little quality science fiction out there with a military theme to it, but this series makes up for lost time! The only negative I saw was that Randy was a little bit to much like Nick. I thought Fientuch trod over some old ground in some of Randy's character traits. Other than that though it was great! I loved finally seeing Nick the way others see him. Most of the books in the series are from his perspective and this is the first time we really get a good look at him through other eyes. I found myself saying "I bet I know what is going through his mind right now!" as I read the book. I wonder if we are seeing Nick mellow in his older days or if its just the perspective. I also love the way Fientuch pulls characters in from books waAAAAy back in the series. Just when you think you'll never see a character again they pop up out of nowhere. You you havn't read this series start at the beginning, but if you have GET THIS BOOK!!
