4.0 out of 5 stars First book in series; good story, great setup for things to come, 20 Mar 2008
This review is from: Emerald Eyes (Mass Market Paperback)
Emerald Eyes is the first book in the Tale of the Continuing and is a good read with an edgy, in-your-face style. Set in the near-future, this cyberpunkesque tale follows the trials and tribulations of Carl Castanaveras and his group of genetically engineered telepathic children; all of whom live in a world that that doesn't want them there (if you're thinking X-men, don't). I found myself enjoying Carl and his co-horts but many of the rest of the characters are what they are; a backdrop.

I first read this book about 20 years ago and I loved it then, just as i love it now. However, I've matured (in theory) over the years and so I've left this book (but not he series) behind. Objectively speaking, Emerald Eyes is the weakest book in the series but it's important that you read this one if you're going to continue on (and I honestly think that you should). IMHO, it's a "must read" for any sci-fi fan that can leave their overdeveloped sphincter at the door.

I have purchased this series a total four times now (I often don't get it back when I lend it out) and I'll probably buy it a few times more.

However, with all of that said, I do have one warning...

The Tales of the Continuing Time is set in a rich universe that develops on many separate levels. It continually evolves and some things in this book really aren't going to make much sense until you've read more of the later ones.

When you realize this, you understand that there's more to this universe than you'd originally imagined and that all of the books that you've read up until now are just a really great beginning to something truly amazing (despite the fact that the existing ones are fantastic). I truly think that DKM had a the makings of a great epic here, provided that he could pull together all of the threads.

After reading each book, I am always left hungry for more. However, I've been hungry for 15 years now and that hunger has not abated with time.

I warn you, now, because if you end up loving the series, as I have, you'll probably never get to see how it all ends, or even how it all begins.

The author has gone AWOL and has left this fertile universe to dry up.

Damn you, DKM.

Damn you.
