The Third Lynx

Nice action-suspense-adventure but not a "keeper". ( )

Compelling light reading. ( )

I enjoyed this thoroughly. Full of tension and suspense like its' predecessor, Lynx finds Frank Compton chasing another mystery involving the Modhri group mind, the Spiders and the Chahwyn. In the midst of it, he falls in love with the woman he's struggling to protect, comes into conflict with a federal agent, and finds his life once again on the line.These books are Timothy Zahn at his best: fast-paced action, political intrigue, well drawn characters, and interesting science. Here he's created a fascinating world full of interesting humans and interesting aliens.I'd recommend this to anyone who likes good space opera. The uniqueness is no laser gun fights and no space battles. These are replaced by battles of the mind, different dangerous weapons, and a constant running to and from danger. It's a thoroughly enjoyable ride. ( )

This book was randomly sent to me by my library for the blind. So i figured, what the hay, I'll read it. What a nice discovery. There was enough plot to keep things moving between a LOT of action. I now want to read the others in the series. ( )

A sequel to Night Train to Rigel, this book is another train mystery/action book that turns pages quickly. A little bit too proud of its ability to play games with the reader, it can be a little unclear as to what exactly is going on, and as always, Timothy Zahn likes to suggest that the character's motivations are more complex than what they actually are.

It's a nice sequel, though, and while it's not a life changing book, that's not always a bad thing. Not quite as good as the first one, though. ( )
