Book Reviews of Liege-Killer (The Paratwa Saga, Book 1)

Book Review: LIEGE KILLER is killer Sci-Fi,excellent thriller & more
Summary: 5 Stars

This trilogy expresses the best hybrid hard-core/action Sci-Fi < > Imaginative Fiction since Heinlein, Asimov and Herbert. HAH! you say. You're a devout skeptic, but you're too clever by half. LIEGE KILLER<>PARATWA is: Outstanding on plot. Extraordinary for depiction (setting proper) and expressive description (sci-fi ideas). Excellent with characters and their world-views, dilemmas, gestalt, development and uniqueness. (Yes, that special characteristic has been done many times, but Mr. Hinz presents the specie with such ingenuity and vividness that the reader might be mesmerized- yeah, I was).When I say uniqueness, I don't mean merely weirdness for its own sake - though there's strango-a-plenty going on. The author doesn't sacrafice suspense for all this richness, either.

There's loads of action in the major plotline and the subplots. There's raftloads of suspense on the way. With the action, there's truckloads of gore too, but not, again, for its own sake. (Well MAYBE one or two scenes.) Unlike Hollywood Mr. Hinz knows that plots not only develop, and that such is needed if you want to build suspense; but that action is amplified by orders of ten through suspense.

Talk about your Evil Twin!

O.K., for those of you who MUST have the Cartesion, Craft Services reduction-on-a-platter; or in this case under-glass and spinning in space:

> 1/3 Blade Runner, 1/3 Dune, 1/3 Caves of Steel, 1/3 Stranger in a Strange Land; and a swirl of Farmer and a pinch of Sturgeon (More than Human). Yeah I know, but you always get more with Science Fiction.

Summary of Liege-Killer (The Paratwa Saga, Book 1)

Earth is a blistered wasteland. The orbital colonies have rebuilt civilization and lived in peace and harmony for more than 200 years. The deadly Paratwa are extinct. But people are being butchered in ways that terrify the local authorities. Only one kind of creature could cause this mayhem, and as the body count grows, the name Paratwa is whispered once again.
