5.0 out of 5 stars
A classic SF trilogy in the tradition of Well of Souls,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wizard (Mass Market Paperback)
I hate trilogies. I really do. Most of the time, the author barely writes anything interesting in the first book, let alone those that follow.Having said that, let me tell you that John Varley has written one of the great SF stories of the last twenty-five years. "Titan" (with its companion volumes, "Wizard" and "Demon") tells the story of Cirocco Jones and the crew of the NASA spacecraft DSV Ringmaster as they meet, are changed by and ultimately must fight Gaea, the living planet. The characters are vivid and well-drawn; Varley has justifiably drawn praise for his strong, realistic female characters. Like Jack Chalker did in "Well of Souls", Varley gives us a powerful story of humanity lost and regained in the face of epic struggles. His reach sometimes exceeds his grasp -- especially in "Demon" -- but I recommend this trilogy wholeheartedly.

Loved the series: Titan, Wizard, Demon,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wizard (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a series of books I've read multiple times. They are well-written, nicely plotted and there are many memorable characters in this story who stick with you after you are done reading about them. I'd love to find out more about what happens to Cirocco Jones and her friends after the events described in Demon.

Wizard meets the level of excellent set in "Titan",
By A Customer
This review is from: Wizard (Mass Market Paperback)
Wizard is easily as good as its prequel, Titan; the two are among the best books I have ever read. The fall into alcoholism (and subsequent recovery from it) by the main character, one of my personal role models, is touching. The story is compelling, offering both emotion and action. It is a must-read for all lovers of great writing, whether they are sci-fi fans or not.
