A worthy Planet Story
22. Oktober 2004
Von Steven Utley
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
THE Z RADIANT is a commenable and a promising first novel by Jessica Reisman -- well-written, solid, nuanced, and stocked (almost overstocked) with complexly interesting characters caught up in a complexly interesting event: Ingress, the once-every-26-years manifestation of a wormhole through which technologically advanced "outsystem" folk drop in on the otherwise isolated "insystem" ones. There are echoes of Ursula K. LeGuin in its depiction of provincial (but not simplistically conceived) insystem society, and Leigh Brackett probably would have admired the greed-and-vengeance-propelled plot and its attendant brace of tough, scary bad guys. There's also a passing reference to one Darkman Jones, surely kin to C.L. Moore's Northwest Smith and Brackett's John Eric Stark. This is a worthy Planet Story, even if the dustjacket art does stink out loud.

Brigadoon in outer space
15. Juli 2004
Von Harriet Klausner
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The planet Nentesh is located in an isolated part of space that is only accessible to outworlders once every twenty years when the wormhole appears. When it opens, people from all over the universe travel to see this almost mythological orb whose residents welcome visitors with the festival of Ingress. The people of Nentesh trade for new technology, visit family and make arrangements to see the rest of the galaxy.
During the last Ingress an abandoned baby was adopted by the locals, and Swan an outworlder came to make a home for herself on this world since her old life was destroyed. Swan has found a mate Ula, who left the outlander tribes to come to the city. Aren, who is friend to both of them, is afraid he is going insane as he sees things that aren't there. Swan is positive that the outworlder who destroyed her world is coming to Nentesh and she has planned for years to make him pay. What she does not know is that her revenge puts not only her own life but Aren's in danger.
Readers will feel that the planet Nentesh feels as real to them as Earth does because Jessica Reisman does such a good job of describing the culture and landscape. The characters also seem genuine because they behave in a manner similar to our own. Much of the story revolves around Swan's mysterious plan to get revenge on her enemy but there are many light hearted scenes as the people get ready to greet the outworlders. THE Z RADIANT will be enjoyed by the futuristic crime thriller audience and fans of Brigadoon though in outer space.

Oustanding debut!
12. Januar 2005
Von Daphne Charette
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Like a flower unfolding, this debut by Jessica Reisman starts out densely furled. The first-time novelist spoonfeeds you nothing, dropping you squarely in the midst of a complexly structured and intriguing world. The story, as it unfurls, is captivating, and the ride all the more intoxicating for the sheer quality of the writing. But it's the richness and reality of the characters that will ultimately hold you glued and hoping (as I am) for a second book to follow the journeys of Swan, Ula, and Aryn. This is thinking readers' sci-fi.
