Book: Titan: Over a Torrent Sea

Post by Bryan Moore »

Who read it? I liked it quite a bit more than Sword of Damocles (though I need to read it again, as I've forgotten all about it). Interesting idea of intelligent bio-mechanics.

I'll let others be the first to post spoilers, but def. worth the read.

Any other opinions?

Actually, I haven't read any of the Titan books. I can't explain it, but they bother me, and I can't say why

They look like Phyllis Diller,

I like most aspects of them, and I'm happy that the franchise is continuing, and integrated into all the other book series as well... SCE, Destiny Trilogy, etc.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Orion's Hounds is still my favorite by far in the series but I still consider it money well spent.

Welcome to the site, Tyrr.

For the record, I've never read them myself, either.

Welcome to the DITL Tyrr. I can't explain my reluctance to read the series. It's kind of odd. But I really liked Destiny, so maybe I should give it a chance.

Welcome, Tyyr.

I liked it. The Squales were pretty neat. And interesting PD twist there, too. And cool the book got away with full frontal nudity on the cover. :P

Yeah. Riker had sex with her earlier in his career. She's an ensign now and the chief navigator.

Dude, you haven't figured out how that works yet?
