5.0 out of 5 stars SCIENCE FICTION REDUX, 30 Jul 2001

By	Writers Digest (Cincinnati, Oh USA) - See all my reviews

I haven't read science fiction in years but Templeman's book has brought me back to the genre. A not "too far out" future shows the post apocolyptic world rationalizing a departure from values established at the beginning of the modern world. The characters are easy to identify with in their internal struggles.In the end, I had questions and wanted more. When's the sequel?

4.0 out of 5 stars THOUGHT PROVOKING, YET FUN, 20 Jul 2001

By	Writers Digest (Cincinnati, Oh USA) - See all my reviews

Need a book that is thought provoking, yet fun? I searched long and hard and finally stumbled across Last Champion of Earth. Donald Templeman has written about a topic that is very relevant yet has not been dealt with in a fair and incisive manner. I am talking about the relationship between man and God. Templeman addresses the results of our decisions and actions today in a very clever way. The book is set in 2174 and is written in an exciting manner. Templeman's book although it addresses a crucial moral dilemma does so in a very entertaining manner. The book is fun and a must read for anyone who really wants to ponder the results of our actions. Templeman's style of writing is a reflection of the way society acts today so if you are taken aback welcome to the 21st century. Yes no PC here. It is well written and his style goes along way to completing the message he wants to deliver. I await his next work, as I found this book fascinating but more importantly it managed to awaken the soul.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray! No drivel!, 18 Jul 2001

By	Writers Digest (Cincinnati, Oh USA) - See all my reviews

I applaud Mr. Templeman for providing this jaded reader with an intellectual sci-fi thriller that won't be carted off to the local used book store anytime soon. Deep,detailed characters with whom one can identify. Political and religious undertones that provoke further personal pondering. All in all a wonderful reading experience. I will definitely look for more titles by Mr. Templeman (and I won't be able to wait until the paperback versions are released....)
