Not Bear's best, but doesn't stink either
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I read this book when it was re-released in 1988. It scared the pants off me then, and still does. It also indroduced me to the author, whose books I now eagerly collect.
Get the REAL message
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I can't understand the bad reviews. This book is important, not for the surface plot, but for the REALLY creepy idea that Bear purports - that mankind has become so powerful that we can now kill souls. This power has been ursurped from God (or whatever name you prefer) and we now face the consequences. This idea gave me the whillies. What a horrific thought. I am a reader of scifi, horror, etc., and this is the first time I ever came across this idea. Read it with an open mind and consider the possibilities.
Defining book, and classic Sci Fi
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I read this book when it first came out, and was the first Greg Bear book I had read. As such, it holds a special place in my mind and heart. I enjoyed reading (and re-reading) this book. It is a classic escapist Science Fiction, hard to put down, and totally entertaining.Read it for yourself, but get your own copy. :-)
Why all the bad reviews?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I got Psychlone real cheap at the library a few years ago and I thought it was cool. I always like reading sci-fi and things to do with weather and Psychlone is a good sci-fi book to read. I thought the freezing of the lynx and how the storm made a huge rock figure that looked like a huge pig was awesome. Psychlone has a lot of good suspense in it and all the stories will keep you wanting to read on to see what happens next. Don't listen to them other reviews, this is a good book and it's well worth its price.
A GREAT AUTHOR!!!

I have not read this book yet as I am now ordering it. However to answer the previous person's post... Greg Bear is an AWESOME writer!! Give his other work's a try!!! You will NOT be disappointed!! I have read MANY of his works and they are EXQUISITE! Try "EON" to start with!! Take Care.
