Building up to the Inevitable....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colonisation : Second Contact (Paperback)
After reading the first four books, in the World War series, I was over joyed to hear that the fifth book Colonisation 1 was out in paper back! I promptly ran to the book store and was not disappointed with book! Although it is a scene-setter, as compared to the previous books (taking place some 20-30 years after original series!) the pieces are set and I feel ready for another fantastic series of books - with a number of "clinchers" at the end of the book setting the trend for the rest of the series!Thanks Harry Turtledove for an amazing series of alternative Earth history books!

The series continues - and it's still good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colonisation : Second Contact (Paperback)
The fifth book in Harry Turtledove's alternate history where aliens invade Earth at a critical point in human history (WW2). I would have thought it would have started flagging by now but it hasn't. If you're new to the series - start at the beginning. And when you get to this one, spot the 1960s pop star!

Finally... Twenty Years Later,
By A Customer
This review is from: Colonisation : Second Contact (Hardcover)
It ended on an uneasy truce, the world was at a semi level of peace, the Race had settled in the lower hemisphere of Earth with the USSR, Greater German Reich, UK, USA remaining free from the clutches of the aliens... Turtledove had ended it there on a note of definate "status quo".Now, it's 20 years later and the colonisation fleet has finally arrived on Earth, Turtledove continues in creating belivable characters and succeeds in updating such familiar characters such as Yeager, Strata, Atvar & Ludmilla while exposing the fates of the rest of the cast from the first World War series. It's easy to slip back into reading this book as if you're reading one of the first trilogy, nothing has changed, and once more the Race, the Humans and of course the reader are embroiled in a massive plot which will span another three books.. Here's to Colonisation: Book 2... Please come soon.
