Sounds like a great way to check it out.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Wold Newton and LXG definitely speak to the same part of my geek too. :)Michael Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12514945570212261283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-22825848818424595252007-04-20T16:54:00.000-05:002007-04-20T16:54:00.000-05:00Oh, and I'm a fan of PJF's shared world theory as ...Oh, and I'm a fan of PJF's shared world theory as well (which made me a fan of Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen by extension).Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-52782853419565873212007-04-20T16:52:00.000-05:002007-04-20T16:52:00.000-05:00New Frontier: I read maybe the first 7 and enjoyed...New Frontier: I read maybe the first 7 and enjoyed them a lot. I do think the cast tends to feel like a superhero group at times, especially with the security officer being made of stone. Lots of powers represented.<BR/><BR/>But it does something interesting with both Shelby and Selar, and the new characters are cool too.<BR/><BR/>Operating in a specific (made-up) sector makes this a little like what Voyager should've been (new and exciting). The first 4 books are collected as one and should either sell you on the series or not at a very reasonable price.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.com
