4.0 out of 5 stars Fast paced space opera with its own unique style, 8 Jul 2007
By Donna M. Hanson (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Campared to the Parish novels, Deep Space has a better defined level of threat and intrigue to drive the plot. There is still the characteristic, De Pierres, fast-paced action and writing style, yet there is something more to the space opera.

Mira Fedor, the main character, is softer than Parish ever was. She's been sheltered and, although not a favourite among the aristocrats, she hasn't experienced the down and dirty side of life. The world of Araldis is a dismal mining world, run by a patriarchal government.

Jo-Jo Rasterovich is a quirky character, who is at times down right amusing. He has discovered a god. Into this mix are various aliens and humans, flocking to comune with this new entity. One of the, the alien, Tekton, who I haven't quite worked out, is really an interesting piece of characterisation.

I found the Italian influence on the Araldis world, a nice touch and the slight feminist leanings appealing.

I can't wait for the next book in this series. I found the story and the characters kept me rivetted to the book and I finished it in one sitting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible book, 3 Jul 2007
By S. Greenberg "enfurnoh" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was absolutely terrible! The dialog was bad, the made up place names and "technology" names were bad, and the overall story was predictable. Some authors can create names and places and worlds with bizarre and interesting names and functions. William Gibson, Peter Hamilton, and Ian Banks are a few. Marianne just can't. The book is very amaturish. If you think, like I did, that the Parrish books were ok so this one might be good, don't be fooled.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dark Space, 15 May 2009
By Andrew N. Swan - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Marianne de pierres has some lovely ideas running through her stories.An example of this would be :Hera Contracts which are the ultimate in making sure compliance by all parties. Failure to honour the terms of the contract result in the reclamation of all wealth and the cancellation of future rejuvenation of the party who failed. There is no appeal process associated with these contracts.Marianne could have had a lot of fun with this idea but does not develop it at all ,letting one of the characters fulfil the contract and render it complete.Mabey in a future book she will revist this.Overall a good yarn but as some reviewers have indicated could go a lot further in the storylines.

2.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing idea that's poorly executed.
As the Amazon synopsis explains, Jo-Jo Rasterovich - mineral scout and general waster- discovers a god like being on the edge of space called Sole. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars IN all honest average.
Having been a fan of Marianne's previous work I picked this novel up with a lot of enthusiasm. However that said I really never got into this tale. Read more
