5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book!, 26 Feb 2009
By P. Livesey (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hellstrom's Hive (Paperback)
I picked up this book after reading the Dune series, as I wanted to read some more of Frank Herbert's perfect writing style.

This is an interesting book based on swarming behaviour. I enjoyed the entire book, and it made me want to turn page after page non-stop. The ideas presented are fresh and interesting (I don't know many books that discusses the running of a hive in such detail). The only problem I have with the book is the ended seems very... bleh. It feels to me like the book should continue - the book comes to no conclusion really. However, do not let this put you off, I still give this book 5 stars as it contained the great writing of Frank Herbert and it is a great book overall!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Human Swarm, 30 July 2009
By Gordon Burrows "Geordie" (Durham, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hellstrom's Hive (Paperback)
Frank Herbert is much better known for the very many books set on his desert planet Dune; The Great Dune Trilogy: Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune: "Dune", "Dune Messiah", "Children of Dune" (Gollancz S.F.)
However, Hellstrom's Hive is, at it's core, a much darker tale than anything set on the Spice World. The premise is typically Frank Herbert; create an extreme environment and explore the effects of that environment on the human psyche.
Hellstrom's Hive is just that, a hive, containing not insects but rather humans acting, living, breathing, killing, and breeding like insects.
The Agency, and no one calls it anything else, wants to know what is happening at a mysterious place they call the Farm. Agents Edward Janvert and Clovis Carr are dispatched to find out, and before long they are in the nightmare that is the centre of the hive. Escape will not be easy, and death may be preferable to some of the fates The Hive promises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frnak Herbert is not only the DUNE mastermind, 10 Jun 2009
By lenna georgia "gina" (athens,greece) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Hellstrom's Hive (Paperback)
Hellstrom's Hive is the kind of book that starts as a "police" tale and proceeds to cover the whole spectrum of " action" novels: it's a spy story, a love story, a sci-fi story. I wish thht somebody would bother to film it PROPERLY !
