5.0 out of 5 stars Lose yourself in 900 pages of expertly-written storytelling, 25 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Empyrion (Paperback)
This is a deeply insightful and revealing book that uses the science-fiction genre to examine human behaviour under extreme conditions. The story is compelling, can't-put-it-down stuff, and the characters are scarily real. You really feel wrapped up in the action, and it is almost a disappointment to finish it - so much so I started it again to see just how many finer points I missed. Subtle yet dramatic and truly gripping from the word go, buy this book if you're after something special.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your average sci-fi epic ... but fantastically better, 28 Feb 2004
By Aaron Kendall (Milton Keynes, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Empyrion (Paperback)
A book where the two worlds of fantasy and science fiction are expressed together by the story telling craft of a genius. The books follow Orion Treet the most unlikely of hero's (a historian) who despite the grave lack of experience and muscle power of a typical hero shows an even stronger strength of mind and morality throughout his journey. His task is to unite the divided world of Emperion, a paradise earth colony millennia in earth's future whilst quite in its present and past. The story follows a similar genre to that of Lawhead's dream thief and similarly the pace rarely flags and warrants long stints without sleep. Anyone put off by futuristic science fiction don't worry, Lawhead somehow manages to limit the focus on technology rather concentrating on how technology can lead to the destruction of society not only in the physical but in the effect this has on societies politics and religion. Arguably one of Lawheads best novels this is a must read for any long time fan or new Lawhead reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's another world., 17 Nov 2003

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Empyrion (Paperback)
I've read quite a few Stephen Lawhead books and even been to a writing lecture where he spoke about his work. Many of his novels haven't really gripped me and have felt somewhat sterile. To be honest, his lecture was particularly boring too.

However, Empyrion is his best work. It is original, interesting and exciting. The writing is well paced (with little lulls here and there) and I felt trully drawn into the events on Empyrion.

A true sci-fi goody.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too Long but Good Story
This doorstep of a book is more commonly split into two. However I have the full 900 page version (with smallish print). As a story it's not so bad. Read more
