The Apocalypse Troll($6.01Value)

Description

Richard Ashton, ex-US Navy, is sailing his boat across the Atlantic. Suddenly, he has an extraordinary encounter as UFOs begin a battle in the skies above. After the battle is over, a lifeboat bobs into view - with an injured female alien warrior on board. David Weber, author of the enormously popular Honor Harrington military SF series, takes to deep space and the high seas in the opening chapters of Apocalypse Troll . The fateful space battle and resulting spaceship crash that bring together Colonel Ludmilla Leonova and Captain Richard Aston, U.S. Navy, set the stage for another rip-roaring, guns-blazing science fiction adventure. When Captain Aston finds out Colonel Leonova's secret, he eagerly offers his help, then finds himself in the middle of an extremely dangerous military situation. Weber's fast plots, nonstop action, and attention to detail are what makes his books so much fun to read, and Apocalypse Troll is no exception. --Adam Fisher A far future space war against a race that employed killer cyborgs (or "Trolls") enters a new dimension as the human-hating Kangas send a Troll into Earth's distant past with the destruction of humanity as its goal. The hopes of the human race hinge on one woman, Col. Ludmilla Leonova, who follows her enemy through time in an attempt to convince 20th-century humans that their future has arrived. The author of the popular Honor Harrington series demonstrates his skill at fast-paced combat scenes and rapid-fire action in an sf adventure that encompasses both the far and near futures. A good choice for most sf collections. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
