Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As expected with these authors a terrific read. Regrettably the bad guy is really bad and too easy to identify, but the other characters thankfully are less predictable. However, the way this world has been structured is absolutely great. What an imagination. The world of Pandora in the Jesus Incident was strange, but this is even better. The extreme opposite to the dry, hot and sandy world of Dune, and something else. Sometimes you can just smell the organics of the drifting islands while the cool interiors of the mermen space can easily be visualised, thanks to the skillful descriptions. If you're a Herbert fan, please try this.

Voidship strikes again
27 Aug 2001
Format:Paperback
Unlike Dune, this series has been out of print for some time. Shame! No one does it better than Herbert but Dune-Mania has left too much of his best work unread and unknown. Dune was a masterpiece, no question. But the series devolved into action novels - the work of creating his universe did not have to be re-done so the rest was just what happens next (and as Brian continues the series, what happened before. The Voidship series is different. Beginning with Destination: Void, which establishes the premise, each novel must reestablish the world in which it is set. Each set of characters has very new hurdles and new forms of intelligent life(? at least self-awareness) to deal with, each with their own world view. A good marketing bet would be to reintroduce these novels in paperback, capitalizing on the popularity of the Dune series. Let the new generation of sf readers discover the other worlds of Frank Herbert.

The Lazarus Effect
27 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
I feel that people everywhere should read the Pandora series. It mixes action, love, literature, and culture into an action packed yet down to earth book. I feel that Frank herbert, and Bill Ransom have created a marvelous Series that shows how people are nto what they seem.

The lazarus effect review.
31 Mar 2002
Format:Paperback
In my eyes, this is a very good book. I suggest you spend a week or two to read it. You will feel better after you read is. It makes me wonder my this wasnt a hit instead of Dune. They are both outstanding books and this book gets my gratitude.
