After 30+ years being a fan of Mike Singleton and Lords of Midnight, I admit I started reading Drew Wagar's novel with some trepidation. It didn't disappoint! It's possible that for those not familiar with the game it will read considerably different and not have the same impact, but for me it felt like the game coming alive. Also I couldn't help feeling this was a labour of love, with all due reverence to Mike Singleton's legacy. It felt right! Looking forward to Doomdark's Revenge.
A very difficult read. I don't think I was patient enough to read it at a pace that would do it justice. It is rather unique and the setting in East Kent made it especially appealing for me.
I just love the worlds and characters that Lois creates, and this is no exception: Dag and Fawn are simply adorable and you just get so engrossed in their story that you feel like you are there side by side with them, sharing their troubles and joys. Can't wait to read volume two!
Good practical introduction to Event Sourcing and CQRS, which enabled me to grok the concepts involved.
Although it feels dated in some aspects, it is one of the great classics and a must read for any sci-fi fan.
This won't be everyone's cup of tea, but for fans of Phillip K. Dick, you'll know what to expect and you won't be the least bit disappointed. if you've never read any of his books, then maybe it's time to take the plunge.
4.5 because of the pace in places. But so many novel ideas, and the insights into the turbulent years of the cultural revolution. Definitely worth the read!
4 stars because a fair chunk of the content is now only of historical importance. Still, it is fascinating how much has changed in 45 years but how much is still the same! This is definitely an educational reading for any software developer and worth the time investment.
Great page turner and setting up the stage for the rest of the trilogy. More of a 4.5 but rounding up to a 5.
