A good book that got a bit to religious for my taste at points, i guess it was needed to put things in perspective. Parts of it shook me and i was baffled by the authors guts to dive into some subjects. I take away half a star to 4 1\2 only because of the bleak and a bit boring ending to an otherwise daring and exiting story. The reading leave nothing to want, that i give 5 stars.

This is clearly a well planned story with excellent plot and character development. I can't actually pin it down to a solely a SF tale as it has many shades of fantasy as well. It was interesting to watch the main character's strict religious beliefs slowly peel away as he ...

A Sci-Fi adventure that keeps a solid pace full of well developed characters. My only complaint is the heavy reliance on religion. By the end of the story the author nearly devolves into a sermon and as an atheist the constant preaching began to grow wearisome.

Thanks for the review! I'm very flattered by the Heinlein comparison. Hadn't really had RAH in mind as I wrote, but of course he was the one who turned me on to the John Carter novels, which he referenced frequently in his later works.
