I read this years ago but its still one of the best military sci-fi action books out there. The 1st and 3rd fell way short of this little gem.
A must read for those out there who like great sci-fi military action!!

In Fatal Women, Kevin N. Roberts has given us poetry full of longings, joys, regrets, and desires-in short, the light and shade, the flesh and spirituality of love. From the fresh purity of "Christine," to the dark sensuality of "Chainmail Angel," Mr. Roberts demonstrates an unfailing poetic instinct. There is no sound, no image out of place, and one feels his world is complete in itself, unsurpassed in loveliness. Mr. Roberts' poetry forms a long awaited bridge to the past of the Great Romantics such as Keats, and Swinburne, and will be welcomed by all who have wished for a return to beauty in poetry.The book itself is elegantly printed, and will be a wonderful addition to anyone's personal library. I also recommend his book, Quest For The Beloved, which forms a perfect companion volume to Fatal Women.

This book really helped me discover Kauai! Easy to use, clear, complete--an excellent resource.

I reviewed the orginal version of this book which was in C#. I've been lucky enought ot get my hands on the new VB.NET edition and it is even better than the original. I am more used to VB as it is, and I spent quite a lot of time translating some of the code snippets in the original, but now I don't have to! The book has changed a bit, it looks better than the first edition, and it is now completely 1.0 compliant. I've used the first book a lot, it's told me more or less everything I've needed to know. If you need to know about web services and you prefer VB then this is the only book you'll need!

If you are in real estate asset managment, this book is a "must read". Offers a practical guideline on the asset management profession.

There are three books in this series Remember The Alamo, Remember Gettysburg, Remember The Little Big Horn. in that order. They are great. Buy all three and start with the Alamo book. You won,t be able to put them down. Time travel at its best. I only wish they would keep this series going. I have these time travel books framed on my wall. What a blast to go back in time and watch history take place. You won't be able to put these down once you start.

I read this book and the others in the series and found them highly entertaining. Randle and Cornett clearly know the military. I could not put this one down, a real page turner with high action and realistic military life. Any military veteran will relate to this story. This one is on par with Heinlein's Starship Troopers and Drake's Hammer's Slammers.

Now here is a beautifully written and true book about the tribes of shorebirds (plovers, sandpipers, and their kin). In a series of essays on the different aspects of bird structure and behavior (e.g., migration, flight, feeding, courtship), the author draws a complete picture of these wondrous birds. If you've ever stood on a beach and watched flocks of Sanderlings wheeling in unison, flashing alternately white and gray, and wondered about how they live their lives, then this is the book for you. Matthiessen is almost the only writer I know who can combine accurate science with a consistently interesting and limpid style.

I have never read or known anything about the Wing Commander universe until I saw the movie which left me eagerly awaiting to learn more. After reading thso novel, I felt full again. Now to preamble this review, it is generally that the novel of the movie far exceeds it and it is true once again of the work of Peter Telep. I can understand that any fanatic finds fault with incoming authors so it's best that I am bringing a completely new point of view coming here, leaving alone Chris Robert's movie script and concentrating on the storytelling of the author. Peter Telep's, work, I find to be inspired and driving as he easily dramatizes war with the decrepit and dark events cascading onto people--along with ship hull plating. He meticulously constructs his characters with each their own sorrow past, reflections of wars long ago, and then drives in the conscious rendering of how each person copes with his or her situation in the present. Each finds their own avenue of choice. Although the book remains albeit of dynamic story telling, (seeing the enemy Kilrathi's point of view is quite refreshing and all the time gives you a bigger broad of what it was like for them) Telep continuously paints out the emotions and actions on a level most efficient with war. Feeling that both sides of the battle, Confederation and Kilrathi, both suffer the same kind of agony, pain, and vengeance, Telep drives in the heart of his version of Wing Commander. Aside from the characters, the plot moves undulating with brilliant battles and scenes alive, although the landscape of space was not as unique or detailed as some Sci-Fi authors. Telep can find interesting ways of rewording the destruction of Dralthi fighters or Rapiers so that the story doesn't feel repetitive. He highly details the fighters yaws and pitches fully to the pilot's reactions, a technique of accuracy with enhances his story as if you were there with Blair in his Rapier or Gerald on the bridge in dead still and quiet. The book is a vibrant tableau of war hell. The ending is honorable as it pulls you in to really want to experience the next chapters. After, I myself, 'enduring' the extent of the hate of Pilgrams and this total unanswered void of Confederation and Pilgrim chaos, I find myself eagerly awaiting Telep's next novel and seeing what Pilgram Stars will lay ahead.

The WC universe has finally found itself an author who respects the source material and who can also tell one hell of a story - and the fan's have never had it so good. While Baen's Wing Commander novels usually cause the more fanatical WingNuts headaches with their continuity errors, this movie adaptation does just the opposite; it actually takes time to explain such problems caused by the movie's script! (according to the movies producers they 'ignored' much of the original material - thank Sivar Peter Telep didn't). Of course, the writing also shines - anyone familiar with Peter Telep's previous books (Space: Above and Beyond, Descent) knows he can tell a great war story. I'm eagerly looking forward to the second book in the series, so we can see what the author can do without having to base everything around a movie script!

Wing Commander is a wonderfully written adaptation of the Wing Commander movie. It adds many new scenes that were not present in the film which enhance and portray the characters in a different light. Peter Telep presents enough tension throughout the story that makes it difficult to put it down until you finish reading the last page. Story is fast-paced and provides a lot of the background info that fans of the Wing Commander series will enjoy. Overall a great book! I give a hearty welcome to Peter Telep from the Wing Commander fans.
