Book Reviews of The Burning Eye (Warworld, Book 1)
Book Review: Great Anthology
Summary: 5 Stars
I first read this book years ago while in high school and thoroughly enjoyed it. The various authors involved are all writing about events on the marginal colony world of Haven as it, and most of war-torn human space, slides down into an apocalypse that (for most) ends with more of a whimper than a bang. Owing in part to colonial policies that favor the time-tested strategy of forced transportation for inconvenient persons and peoples on Earth, Haven is home to a wide range of cultures, religious fringe groups, and the like, all of whom must cope with not only the collapse of interstellar commerce but also invasion by remnants of one faction in the civil war that has wrecked human space.
The various stories in the collection are mostly very well done and very readable, with a mix of military science fiction and ethnographic sort of science fiction. Some familiarity with Pournelle's CoDominium setting is helpful for readers, but certainly not essential. Overall a highly engaging read, and highly recommended for anyone looking for well conceptualized, very readable science fiction.
