5.0 out of 5 stars Firebird Comes of Age, 9 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The 1987 Bantam Books version of Firebird was Kathy Tyers' first novel. It was good, but it was a first novel. The 1999 Bethany House version is the work matured. Everything about it is better. The writing is crisp, clear and evocative, the plotline flows smoothly and logically, the characters, always appealing and admirable, have gained authenticity. Best of all is the addition of the spiritual element which, while subtle and never preachy, pulls it all together and gives the story a weight and depth of meaning the first version lacked. If you haven't read the new version, Read It Now! It is without question the best fiction Kathy Tyers has written to date, though I have every confidence she will top this effort in the sequels to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent balance between sci-fi action and soul-searching, 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
In the sci-fi genre, Star Wars books are usually my reading of choice, but I have to say that I was impressed by Kathy Tyers' book Firebird. I read the recently published version by Bethany House and have never read the previously published version. Firebird's struggle is one that many people can probably relate to. The new worlds and cultures Tyers has created were a breath of fresh air. I was especially intrigued by the Sentinels and would like to find out more about them. Tyers gives a lot of good background on characters but leaves spaces that will more than likely be filled in the upcoming books. Tyers has the uncanny ability to create characters that touch the heart as well as characters you dislike upon first meeting. The space battles were very well-done and were balanced out by the moments of romance and deep conversation. I am very much looking forward to the next book coming out! I do not think that Bethany House will regret the decision to publish this series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding science fiction, 30 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This is outstanding science fiction, clever and imaginative, well-paced, and thoroughly enjoyable. The basic theme of "Does life have real meaning without God" argues both sides of the question fairly and does not insult one's intelligence. Highly recommended.
