Book Reviews of The Legacy of Heorot
Book Review: For peple who don't like science fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Legacy of Heorot" is the book that I always recommend to people who say that they don't like science fiction. I have yet to get one person say that they don't like this book. It reminds people of the movie "Alien", in fact whenever I picture a "Grendel", the monster from Alien always seems to pop in my head.
Part Australian Outback colonization story, part monster movie, and part psychological profile, "The Legacy of Heorot" delivers on many levels. All of the major characters are well fleshed out and you can actually believe in them. All of the science fiction is rooted solidly in fact. And although the story line drags a bit at times, you can believe that another surprise is waiting on the very next page.
