Review: Worthy continuation of Doom Star series
Rating: 4 out of 5

The continuing adventures and harrowing escapades of Martin Kluge take him to Jupiter, where he finds an odd civilization and a growing threat from the cyborgs he fled Mars to escape. He must overcome the disbelief and strange social conventions of the Jovian Confederation to convince them of the threat posed by the stealthy cyborgs from Neptune, and eventually help save the Jovians from themselves and the cyborgs. Heppner's style is solid, but this book had a bit less action and more maneuvering than previous works in the series; this is not a bad thing, as the action was pretty over-the-top in some of the earlier books, and it does build suspense for the eventual climactic confrontation. Heppner delivers solid SF fun at a bargain price - what's not to like about that? Keep writing these - I'd like to see where it ends!
