Vaguely reminiscent of Robert A. Heinlein's Starship Troopers (specifically, the relentless alien antagonists and the over-the-top, gung-ho characters), The Myriad is light-hearted, fast-paced fun. This novel will prove thoroughly enjoyable to fans of military science fiction authors like David Weber and David Drake., Nostalgia-minded readers who yearn for the days of Doc Smith's Lensman books will enjoy the third of Meluch's barely modernized space opera series. Assassinations, the threat of civil war, and a canonically evil villain all keep things hopping in this fast-paced space adventure., "Nostalgia-minded readers who yearn for the days of Doc Smith's Lensman books will enjoy the third of Meluch's barely modernized space opera series.

Whether you favor the marines, the pilots, or the Romans, a fine yarn to chuckle along with, just like the previous Tour of the Merrmiack adventures."-(For Strength and Honor), Booklist   "Vaguely reminiscent of Robert A.

Whether you favor the marines, the pilots, or the Romans, a fine yarn to chuckle along with, just like the previous Tour of the Merrmiack adventures., Praise for the Tour of the Merrimack series:   "Meluch shows particular skill in  creating memorable characters while exhibiting a refreshing ruthlessness  in subordinating them to the logical ramifications of the plot." -- Publishers Weekly  (starred review), for  The Myriad "Rousing far-future SF novel.... This is  grand old-fashioned space opera , so toss your disbelief out the nearest air lock and dive in."  --Publishers Weekly  (starred review), for  Wolf Star " The Myriad  begins a series that is an amalgam of subgenres: military science fiction, space opera, time paradox, and alternate history.... This novel will prove thoroughly enjoyable to fans of  military science fiction authors like David Weber and David Drake ."--The B&N Review   "Meluch is an excellent writer, and has a firm grasp of military tactics, character development and storytelling. A good substitute  for those waiting for David Weber's next Honor Harrington  novel."  --Sacramento Book Review    "Enough action and suspense for three novels. Meluch's wry, realistic wit finds the ludicrous in the military, sex in the military, and a dozen other matters.  A treat for military sf buffs ."  --Booklist , for  The Sagittarius Command   " Fast action, hairbreadth escapes, and Meluch's facility for humor  in an astonishing range of situations incumbent on military life become the order of the day.... A fine yarn to chuckle along with, just like the previous  Tour of the Merrimack  adventures." -- Booklist , for  Strength and Honor   " The Ninth Circle  is an immensely readable book that flows very quickly and draws you in with sharp little hooks that demand you finish the book  before you dream of beginning any other."  --Seattle Post-Intelligencer    "A lovely sequel with excellent writing and wonderful characters.... This is a great read  for people who liked Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey and Daniel Leary ." --SFRevu    "A heart-pounding thrill ride....  Fans of  Star Trek  and Heinlein alike  will enjoy the story...a great story of space warfare and the triumph of the human spirit against insurmountable odds." --Grasping for the Wind

    Item arrived within expected window of delivery. It was packaged in such a way so that item would not damaged during shipping. Item was actually better than described in eBay ad. It had been described as "Very Good," but it actually could be described as "Fine," "NOS," or "Like New," because it looked like a brand new copy! Great value for the price. Very happy with my purchase experience with this seller.

    This item was listed as "very good" condition but it should have been listed as "like new" condition. I was very pleased to find the Bible had no writing in it, had a very clean leather cover and in fact looked like it had never been opened. The box was even in great shape on an item from 2013. The packaging could have gotten it to China and back without a scratch. It was shipped the same day as purchase. I love it and am very pleased with this seller.
