My savior, have mercy upon me:
Idiotic ramblings from Badloser in italics, since teh quote no workee workee:
Perhaps the only saving grace to this novel is the 57-page preview of the next installment, titled Pantheon of Vengeance, written by the 3rd author to pen this series. Just the first chapter alone is better than the whole storyline of Ghostwalk. It came across as being different, something between a cross of Battletech/Transformers. And after seeing the awesome Ironman movie this past weekend, this new novel just may be the breath of fresh air that this series needs. Like Victor Milan did.
This is what this series desperately needs. A writer like Victor Milan, bold enough to take these group of characters and make them more human than Ellis writes them. With Ellis, Grant just continues to growl, Brigid is still frigid, and Kane is apparently a eunuch, seeming to turn down any hot babe, whether alien or human. Been there, done that. These scenes are just not written realistically.
Let us hope this new writer, Douglad Wojohowitz, (Or something like that. The name reminds us of that dumb but funny detective in the classic comedy series, Barney Miller), can take this series and run with it.
What "new life?" What lack of characterization? This isn't a review, it's a generalization of a hatchet job by an insipid sack of monkey fecal matter being jerked along by some sock puppet who has no concern about soiling his arm up to his elbow with stupidity.
Oh, and 1IQ - if you can't even spell Douglas, give it up, roll over on your rifle and blow your brains out, as Kipling suggested to the British in Afghanistan.
Oh, another point - Mark Ellis, Mel Odom, Victor Milan then me, dimwit! 4th author. Show respect to the Ellis you feminine hygene product disposal recepticle!
If Goodwin is "endorsing me" it's a "f*** you" with faint praise. If you'd checked his character assassination attempt on Hard Pursuit, you'd not only see me kick that creep's buttocks to the curb, but learn in no uncertain terms my opinion of the flaccid reject.
