Reviewer: Dr Who "of Galafry" of Arizona

This book is in a class by itself.  If you're looking for a combination of Indiana Jones and Star Trek rolled together with a good dosing of Lord Of The Rings, then this book is for you.  Beyond Mars Crimson Fleet is probably one of the best scifi stories I've ever read.

It starts out with a rebellious Martian Fleet fighting its way out of the solar system against the technological superior forces of the Earth in the hopes of reaching another world it has secretively built.  The Earth has become a one world dictatorship where a subplot of political intrigue is the catalyst to the Martian insurrection.

The story is sometimes intense, but very well thought through and the action nonstop.  The characters and story are also very believable.  If fact, that's both the strength and weakness of this book.  Just reading today's headlines and occasionally hearing some politician call out for a "New World Order" which seems to be a common theme among our political elect nowadays sent a shiver up my spine, since that's what the author calls the Earth government in his tale, and he supposively wrote this over ten years ago.  That's the real scary part of this book, seeing what's happening now with the recession, terrorism, and the slime that fills the world's corporations and governments gave me the unsettling feeling that this story is about to happen for real!  Regardless there were times I just couldn't put this book down, I just had to turn the next page!  That's how exciting it gets.

The main story is centered around a somewhat daring and dare I say outlandish Martian Navy Captain by the name of Richard Wakinyan and his ship, the Martian space destroyer CRAZY HORSE.  The situations he and his ship gets in are insane and the stuff he pulls off is great reading.  It truly shows the inventiveness of the author who keeps you spellbound every step of the way.

Anyway, if you're looking for something for your de-valuing dollar, something to make you feel paranoid about the times we live in in addition to a really great science fiction yarn, I highly recommend Beyond Mars Crimson Fleet.  You will not be disappointed.

This book is a combination of H.G. Wells' 'War of the Worlds' and Tolken's 'Lord of the Rings.'  Unbelievably good, fast pace and action-packed!  It just blows away Star Wars!  Get it! It's well worth the money!

Beyond Mars Crimson Fleet is probably the best science fiction book I have read in years.  Again it is a well written story that flows like a movie.  Yet, it's appeal as so basic that I think that anyone who picks it up will enjoy it.  From beginning to end, its excitement and action will grip you and keep you on edge.  The book begins with a revolution on Mars that develops into a series of running battles, both with hand-to-hand combat and in space.  The main character, Captain Richard Wakinyan, is an audacious ship commander that is willing to take the most insanest chances to win.  And it is some of the most creative situations that make this book really novel.  The main villain, however, is a woman.  Admiral Selena Darius is an ambitious and ruthless politically driven individual, who will kill anyone for the sake of power.  And these two play well against each other.  All in all, the book is worth reading over and over again.

I read a few other online reviews for this book and I became a little skeptical at first.  Its not too many books you encounter with a constant four or five star rating.  Usually its just people hyped up over something or some stupid fans of a TV show series book.  But anyway, I decided to pickup a copy for myself and see what it really was about.  I was totally surprised!  This book has got to be one of the best science fiction stories on the market!

Its story is timeless and seems to a retelling of the American Revolution, but at a faster pace and with the Martians as the good guys.  Its very creative and extremely entertaining.  One of the other reviewers referred to this as the "Lord of the Rings" of science fiction.  I do heartily agree.  This book one day is going to be a classic, and hopefully someone will make it a great movie!  Do yourself a favorite and pick one up, you will not be disappointed.

Think about any Scifi book, movie, TV series (any episode) such as Babylon 5, Stars Wars, Star Trek, or Deep Space 9, and this beats it!  AN incredible story that will leave wanting more!  I cannot heap enough praise on this book.  Brilliantly written, fast pace, and action-packed, "Beyond Mars Crimson Fleet is to Science Fiction as "Lord of the Rings" is to fantasy!  On a scale of 1 to 10 this is a definite 9.  If Steven Spielberg is looking to make another Scifi movie, look no further, HERE IT IS!

This book is not only incredibly good, but incredibly different.  First of all the tone is very unusual.  It doesn't talk down to people, lose you in any droning, or bog you down in with long winded explanations.

Instead, it is a thrill a minute scifi story that plays like a movie in your head that was apparently crafted by a master and gifted wordsmith.

What makes it even better, is that it seems all really believable!  I can see it as history waiting to happen.  That also makes it a bit scary!  Still, it will be hard for you to put it down, and you'll probably read it from start to finish like I did.

This has got to be the absolute best scifi book since War of the Worlds!  It is a nonstop rollercoaster ride of action and thrills. Only one word can describe it, WOW!!!  Captain Wakinyan makes Kirk and Picard look like moronic wussies!  Get the hell out of the way Enterprise here comes the Crazy Horse!
