Great science fiction for young to adult readers!!, 27 Oct 2008
By Florida Reader "Judith" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Liberator: 1 (Tarizon) (Hardcover)
Departing from his typical mystery writing, Manchee explores new territory with The Tarizon Trilogy. He presents a storyline that is a must read for the young adult science fiction audience, as well as older readers who yearn for action-packed thrillers. Through exciting characters, great dialog and an engaging storyline, Manchee has created a fascinating story that offers sci-fi fans everything they could want.
Tarizon: The Liberator, the first in novelist William Manchee's exciting Tarizon Trilogy, begins after a series of super volcanic eruptions nearly destroys all life on planet Tarizon. The planet is slowly recovering ecologically but the political situation is volatile. The fight is between the Purists who want to rid Tarizon of a growing mutant population and eliminate all non-human intelligent life-forms, and the Loyalists who want to restore the Supreme Mandate that guarantees freedom and basic rights for all humans and other beings. Much to his dismay, Peter learns that many on Tarizon regard him as the Liberator and expect him to lead a revolution to settle the political unrest.
What a great book to read and enjoy!!!

Alien, alien abduction, and CIA plots, it is all here, 29 Jan 2009
By Sharon M. Eckert "sme book lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Liberator: 1 (Tarizon) (Hardcover)
The young adult science fiction audience will go for William Manchee's Tarizon: The Liberator, is the first book in his new trilogy.
This book has everything a sci-fi fan could want: an alien world, mutants, conflict and civil war, spaceships, super-technology and chapters full of action! There is even romance for young Peter.
The reader is pulled into the story, learning along with Peter the language, customs, food, technology and warfare practices of this alien culture. The vivid descriptions of the planet will feel as if readers are there assisting the earthling as he struggles with doing what he believes is morally right. There is a message here, which is oft repeated, a message of tolerance and hope.
Storyline is attention-grabbing, engaging and out of the ordinary. Settings are nicely detailed, reader is drawn into the action, and interest is compelling from beginning to end. Plot twists, subterfuge, stratagem, and chicanery abound, heroes are heroic, and villains are down-right vicious."
5.0 out of 5 stars
Very Believable, 18 Dec 2008
By Jeff Lind "mystery lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Liberator: 1 (Tarizon) (Hardcover)
William Manchee's book, "Tarizon: The Liberator," will definitely appeal to young fans of science fiction but also is a well told story of good versus evil, with a likeable, young hero that will appeal to most readers, particularly the teen to twenty-something set. While this book starts with the premise that there are aliens from another planet living among us they are not so different to put off the casual reader. They look human with the only difference that they have gills. Their planet, Tarizon used to be a beautiful place but was nearly destroyed following a series of volcanic eruptions. This premise is very believable. As the inhabitants of Tarizon try to cope they become embroiled in political unrest, resulting in a civil war between the Loyalists, the group believing in restoring rights for all life forms, including a growing mutant population and the Purists who want to rid Tarizon of the mutants and all non-human, intelligent life. This a theory easy to relate to as throughout time there have been civilizations on earth through genocide and ethnic cleansing that have basically tried to do the same thing. Basically, the beings from Tarizon need earthlings and in this book, US citizens to help repopulate their planet. They make a deal with the US government to give them advanced technology in exchange for healthy humans to aid in the repopulation. The story's seventeen year old hero, Peter Turner discovers the basics of this plot and is exiled to Tarizon where he is thought by many to be the prophesized liberator. How he adapts to another planet, customs and language while escaping assassination is a compelling story. Peter stands up for and works for what he believes is right and that always makes a good
