It's been years since I read the book, but from what I remember of it, it wasn't half bad. RealityBYTES

Turtledove's WorldWar series was my first real encounter with alternate history. I mostly enjoyed it, then I found S.M. Stirling's Drakaverse and, well, things bloomed from there. RealityBYTES

I just finished reading "Without Warning" a few minutes ago and, I must say, it was a mostly enjoyable read, albeit dystopian in nature. (Or, in other words, thank God I wasn't in that particular timeline when the Wave hit.) I thought the weakest parts of the book were the segments that took...

I require very little other than a solid story with good characters. If I want counterfactual history, I'll buy a counterfactual history book, thank you very much. RealityBYTES

Well, I guess we shall find out in Resistance 3, which will probably come out sometime in 2010. RealityBYTES

As others in this thread have noted, I believe the Draka are a fairly vile bunch of people — not only do they conquer, they also convert (through genetic means) the survivors, should there be any, into their worshipers. RealityBYTES

Well, I finished the three novellas and, I must say, all three were decent reads. "Places of Exile" turned out to be the most detailed one, IMO, while "Seeds of Dissent," in some places, almost had Drakaverse qualities to it (and I mean that in a good way). "A Less Perfect Union" ended up...

I've got a copy of the first novel and am currently 30 or so pages into the first tale, the one where Terra Prime succeeded in keeping Earth isolationist ... RealityBYTES

I've been looking forward to these particular Trekverse novels. The authors should have a lot more freedom, plot- and character-wise, than they would with a novel set in the standard, ho-hum universe. RealityBYTES

I know the post above is an old one from February 2007, but I thought I'd let the poster in on something that will be of great relief to him: in the sequel, the Chimera, undaunted by the events in "Fall of Man," bring their vicious war to American soil, making landfall on the West Coast in 1953...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again (which, I know, won't necessarily make it ever come true): A sequel or story of some sort set in S.M. Stirling's Drakaverse. Personally, I'd like to find out if the Alliance for Democracy's descendants ever did find a way to outsmart the...

We're all human, so to err on occasion isn't exactly a shocking development. RealityBYTES :)

The *first* movie, I'd imagine. Not according to the bookstore I do business with. They looked it up, precisely because a HC and a PB coming out at the same time seemed odd. Best guess, the PB is actually a trade paperback. RealityBYTES

**LOL** Good points, all. But if I can get a true paperback version of the book, rather than a trade paperback, I might spring the $6 to $8 for it. I really did like "V" back in the 1980s ... RealityBYTES

From what I understand, Kenneth Johnson was none too pleased with the second "V" television movie, nor the follow-up television series. But, yes, I, too, like united canons. RealityBYTES
