Exodus by Steve White

Post by dragon »

Was wondering if anyone has read this and if it's any good. I flipped through the first few pages in the store and saw that it's set a few decades after Insurrection in the star fire verse. So was wondering if its worth the money to pick up?

I'm a big fan of the series but I was very disappointed by this book. There is so much that I don't like about this book that I don't know where to start. I've read the other books several times but I had to force myself to finish it. I felt the book ended as though the publishers forgot a couple of chapter.

hum maybe I see if they have it at the library or something then, no point in wasting money on a crappy book, or see if I can find it at the used book store if its that bad someone might have gotten rid of their copy.

You can legally download a free copy from fifthimperium.com (aka Dahak's Orbit); they have a page with all the free-to-copy Baen CDs. Here. The Mission of Honor CD has it. I haven't actually read it, due to the bad word of mouth.
"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." - John Rogers

It reads like it's intended to be the first of a series. There's some promise to it, but without any sequels, I'd place it at below average so far.
