Book Reviews of The Last Legends of Earth - A Radix Tetrad Novel
Book Review: One of my all time favorties
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll put it simply this way, I have read hundreds of Science Fiction books and I have kept exactly ten, this being one of them and probably my favorite of all time. The only other novels I've read in the past fifteen years that have captured me so completely were Ilium and Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Still, this is probably my favorite of all time. The sheer scope of the story is amazing and the many characters drawn out distinctly are impressive. Add to that one of the all time best villainous races ever imagined, a truly alien yet human like central character, landscapes from the microscopic to the gargantuan, the rebirth of the human race, the rebirth of another race from Earth. Well, you get it, it draws you in and starts you thinking about the universe it creates. A very gifted writer and very much under appreciated. Buy the book, read it, think about it and then read it again like I have. Maybe it will become one of your treasures.
Summary of The Last Legends of Earth - A Radix Tetrad Novel
"A grand and glorious visionary epic."-Robert Silverberg *** Set in the artificial planetary system of Chalco-Doror, which is no more and no less than a vast cosmic machine, The Last Legends of Earth is a love story, a gripping saga of struggle against alien control, and an examination of the machinery of creation and destruction. Above all, it is world-building of the highest and grandest order, on a scale rarely seen in science fiction since the great works of Olaf Stapledon.Literature & Fiction Books
