“I read almost 500 pages and then returned it to my library. After major characters were eliminated by the author, I totally lost interest. Can't imagine what Green Mars and Blue Mars (the other two in the trilogy) are like, nor do I care to find out.

Note: I read a number of books a week and it it very rare that I do not find some redeeming quality that will make me want to see how a book ends.”

“One of the first S-F books that I ever read, way back in the days. Interesting, humorous, good combination of S-F and mythologies.”

“Interesting insights on key players in the drama that led to India's independence. Surprising how much sex played into it all. Sad to learn of the negative aspects of those involved in the drama, especially Gandhi. He was truly a man of contradictions and, in certain aspects, great rigidity in attitude. in spite of some disillusionments, I'm glad that I read it.”

“One of the more readable in the Brian & Kevin series, but Frank Herbert's version of Dune is still the ultimate by far.”

“I enjoyed the book-a very good combination of fantasy and mystery. Caused me to think about what it would be like to live in a monochrome world where the expressions of color were illegal. An action-filled plot with interesting and believable characters.

I strongly recommend reading it; I think that you'll enjoy "First Light".”

“I'm impressed by the author's depth of knowledge of the period. Falco and his family have been well-developed over the years-this is episode 19. A fun book, well worth the effort of the author and the reader. Enjoy!”
