Reviews for the book
Starfire Scourge

 

sssssssStarfire Scourge, the first book in the Prometheus trilogy, starts with a bang and retains its racy pace and science fiction depth throughout its epic length – finishing with a discovery about the origins of the human race that you won’t want to miss. Warwick Gibson could surely become one of the great science fiction writers of our time, with his masterful plot-making, command of scientific theory and mind-expanding extensions of our reality. This book is not to be missed.

sssssssUsing solid logic and a great imagination, author Warwick Gibson has extrapolated way beyond today’s science to create a very believable future in which star travel across light years is as commonplace as a trip to the dairy. Starting with four different strands he cleverly weaves these together with just the right mix of inter-galactic encounters, bloody battles, fragile alliances, romance, humour and intrigue. The result is an enthralling story which culminates in an unexpected but very satisfying outcome; leaving enough loose ends to make the reader look forward eagerly to the next book.

sssssssAs a professional editor I could see work that needed doing on Warwick Gibson's scifi book to 'sharpen it up a bit', as with all new authors. But apart from that I was drawn to the characters and found their adventures, and the trials and tribulations of their lives, compelling stuff. This book is well worth the trouble of reading.

sssssssScience fiction has never been my choice of reading, but after coming across the preview chapter of Starfire Scourge on the web I was intrigued and ordered a copy. I have not been disappointed. From the start I have been captivated by the intricate story line with all its twists and turns, surreal characters and non stop action. This book is a "must read" for any Science Fiction fan and a serious consideration for anyone wanting a good action story with a difference.

sssssssFrom the first page to the last I was riveted by the vast, intricate, technicolor universe this writer has created. It extended well beyond imagination to become a reality of life that I became total absorbed in. This book is a page-turning, gripping, powerful book, and the people who inhabit these new worlds became friends to me, sharing humour, love, tragedy and compassion. I didn’t want to leave .
sssssss- Jane Hamann, Artist, Taranaki. (Jane is a Fine Arts graduate who has read every book in Taranaki and cut her teeth on Science-Fiction. A strong endorsement from her is particularly encouraging).

sssssssI have never been a SciFi enthusiast, apart from some of the high profile special effect spectaculars seen in our movie theaters over the last 20 years. However Starfire Scourge arrived in our house and I started flicking through pages at random. The first thing that struck me was how well the story flowed, with a very easy narrative and believable characters. Pages led to chapters and very soon the book had captured my imagination and I was finding it hard to put down. Am I now a converted SciFi reader? Not sure but keenly awaiting the next volume in the trilogy.

sssssssI have never really been a sci-fi reader, but I really enjoyed this book. I did find the many names confusing, but the writing flows well and I was always curious to know what would happen on the next page. I might try more books in this genre now, but mostly I am looking forward to the next book by Warwick Gibson!
