Honor in Chains (I think I got it right)
David Weber
Yet another in his "Honor Harrington" series
this book brings more of the Honor of Space Opera
Don't be afraid if you can't read them in order, like most series, each book can stand alone
although you will go nuts trying to hunt down the other
books in the series! I know! We have !
An interesting set up, and a teasing end to many of the problems Honor has faced...until....and then!!! but wait! I don't want to give it away. An excellent set up for the next book, which I hope to see soon.
BTW, Mr. Weber is slated to be one of the guests at Copper Con this year(1999) in Arizona. A strong four mortar rounds!

Space Marines, the movie, I don't recall it having a theatre run in the US, but Tory assures me it did, we found it on Laser CD from an overseas supplier, the movie was fun, and had some action, though the effects were not really high budget, it seems the copy we ordered may not have been...well, lets just say there were funny numbers running the whole time along the bottom of the screen! But, I give it a firm two rounds for fun and Marines, in space...

<center>Finally out in theatres now!!<br>Hopefully the promos, previews, toys, and such were not too much in the realm of spoilers for you as they were for me.<br>Fun charachters, The plot makes sense, in relation to the other three movies...and does a good job of raising questions about the As to those critics who say too slow, too much this or that, get over it!
When was the last time you folks read Great Expectations, starts a bit slow, has a convoluted plot, and lots of adventure, as you get into it. This is entertainment.

Too bad the scale only goes to five rounds, I would not hesitate to give a few extra!

I said we would do this, and here is our first "Guest Review"

Greetings Space Marines! I would like to add my opinion about the Star Wars Phantom Menace review. It was without a doubt the best Science Fiction movie I have ever seen. Between the story line that hummed right along to the special effects that leaped off the screen, this movie was almost overwhelming. Definetly need to add more mortar rounds! I would like to alert everyone about Walter Williams... an incredible writer of hard core science fiction. In his book "Hardwired" he combines all the action that you look for in this style of book as well as the high tech mumbo jumbo that would make Gibson proud. An "must read" for any fans of Gibson's. Thanks for giving me a forum for my reviews. And keep up the cool links. Dan Williams

Well friends, there you have it, obviously a man of impeccable tastes!, and it looks like I will need to check out a new writer

BTW, for those interested in possibly being a writer...
The folks at Bridge Publications (Watch for a WWW link) work to sponsor the Writers of the Future-as well as artists- Contest every year! watch for more information on this.
