Die Geschichte ist geschrieben wie von einem Schulkind. Simple Beschreibungen und ebensolche Charaktere, ein Protagonist, der fast ein Superman ist, allen haushoch überlegen. Auch der Satzbau und die Entwickling der Geschichte haben keinerlei Finesse. Lohnt sich nicht.

just below an actual 2 star
repetitive, the same thing over and over, hollow characters, and just blah

If you are a John Carter of Mars fan or enjoy the "displaced person on another world" then this series is for you. The books run in long story arcs so you can read just a few to complete a plot line or go for the whole set. Akers creates a very complex world for the hero to adventure in. Recommended

Akers was really starting to hit his stride along about here in the series.
