This story is not Dead On Arrival!

The character development is well thought out and improves as the story progresses. There is a hint of whimsy to his writing style that makes the story enjoyable.

As good as when I read it

I started this series when it first came out. The narration is almost how I imagined the dialogue, as I read it.

great series

I love the legion of the damned series would make an incredible tv show

Extraordinary - best SciFi book I have read

Mr. Dietz and Mr. Corren combine to present one of the truly entertaining SciFi thrillers of the year. This is, without a doubt, the best SciFi book I have had the good fortune to read(listen). I would recommend this book for both the Hugo and Nebula awards. If you were only going to read one SciFi book, you must read this one. I found myself unable to put it down, it was so entertaining.

It was okay

There's no discussion of the technology involved which is fine but it can add to the universe the story takes place in. A lot happens in the book, but it takes away from detail and character development. I like how flawed some of the characters were. Although much of the book was a pale imitation of Dune, I love Dune so I didn't mind.
