Spectre's Review
Another wonderful edition of the Orion saga. What can I say, this series is beautiful! I loved this one mostly because of
the future atmosphere. Although this book doesn't have much historical context (taking place in the future), the writings
style still shoved you right in the thick of everything. For hard-core military sci-fi fans, this one's a must have. I
still have nightmares from the imagery Bova puts into the Old Ones. This edition really puts a good perspective on time
travel. Time is an ocean, and even though we can move back and forth through time, we cannot control completely the
effects of our passage through time. Bova is so consistent, I am continually and quite delightfully amazed.
