WOW! Can you say fantastic? I read this story twice and never found a dull page in the entire book. Most sci-fi gets boring from technical terms I don't understand but even the science in this novel was explained in easy enough terms for me to grasp. I'm not saying they weren't complicated ideas, I'm saying Thomas Lee Howell has a definite way with words. The story is action packed without being weak on storyline and the adventure took me right to Astral East. I watch the sky now, more than ever for UFOs and hope to read Prison Planet two when it comes out. I am retired from the Air Force and loved the flying sequences. I kept dodging and leaning as the descriptve air battles unfolded. I gave several copies to friends who gave several copies to others. We are starting a Prison Planet fan club in our area. This book should be a movie. The military libraries are ordering their shipment within a week. I like the lead character Yarthgo because of his love for his female counterpart. He is a great soldier but exhibits a warm heart at the same time. The martial arts sequences are realistic and being an enthusiast; I know what he describes is accurate down to the smallest detail. Read it and I think you'll agree that Thomas Lee Howell is on to something good. I wish I could write like that. Unfortunately, I will have to be an avid fan instead. Do you know where we can write to Mr.Howell to congratulate him on a job well done? I rate his story in with Roddenberry, Bradbury, Asimov, and the greats of our time.

This book is great! I loved the characters who seemed almost human except for their strange quirks. The story was so exciting I couldn't leave the book for five minutes without having to go back and read more. It's a real cliffhanger with appeal and suspense. My favorite character is Zale. She is a strong female role model and goes unmatched in self defense and weapons. Her heartfelt love for Zandar got to me a few times when they described how they felt for each other. Some Earthlings could learn a thing or two from the heros of Astral East. I kept looking at the sky expecting alien ships to scream into the area and thought I was part of the story a couple of times. The flying scenes where Thomas Howell desribed the aerial battles had me jumping with anticipation. I recommend this novel to everyone male and female alike who likes a good story. The scientific details of the experiments sound plausible without being impossible. I think there is a rising star in the sci-fi field and it's Thomas Lee Howell. Buy this book! You won't be disappointed! I gave four of them away for Christmas and have two more to give as Birthday presents. Order it today and see what the new generation of science fiction is all about. This book would make a terrific animated movie. I can't wait for the sequel. Look out Lucas and Speilberg, you have a fellow writer making his mark. Thanks Charity Phillips Keller

This book is indeed a masterpiece and it is great for someone who is studying to be an engineer or is interested in architecture. It is fantastic and has everything from the Lovely Louvre to the palace at Petra, from the Great Golden Gate to the construction of the Chrysler. It shows fine examples of art deco, modern, classical, Greek, Muslim etc. architectural wonders. It not only explains and shows the construction of these great buildings, but for certain buildings it also shows their plan, it's legends, along with information about who built it, why did they build it, whom did it build it for, when was it built, and where it is. It also has sections showing the greatest styles of architecture ever used along with a series of historic sites in the world. All in all this is a fantastic and very useful guide to the masterpieces of Architecture and Engineering.
