Prentice Hall, 20 July, 2001. Paperback. Good., Prentice Hall, 20 July, 2001, HarperCollins. 2000. Paperback. Very Good. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Eric Van Lustbader takes us to the cutting edge of technology with this unique novel of suspense. New York City Homicide Detective Jon Christopher has a perfect record bringing serial killers to justice, but now all that has changed: the genocidal maniac dubbed the Pale Saint has eluded him for 18 months. When Christopher's best friend, assistant D.A. Bobby Austin, becomes the Pale Saint's latest victim, Christopher's need to catch the killer becomes a matter of personal obsession. Forced to take desperate measures in order to track down the Pale Saint, Christopher enlists an unexpected partner, the great lost love of his life, Austin's widow, Cassandra, a brilliant genetic engineer. Together they make a cataclysmic decision: they will create and train a clone of the Pale Saint, his mirror image, to become the human bullet that will bring the wily killer down. Eric Van Lustbader's new novel is an intense, breathless chase to root out and destroy the ultimate evil. And in redefining the age-old mysteries of love and death, loyalty and betrayal, sin and redemption, Pale Saint forces us to confront the most profound questions of our time: What defines a human being? What constitutes a family? What right do scientists have to breach the barrier of the unknown?, HarperCollins, 2000, On the primitive world of Cull, a knight errant called Anderson is hunting a dragon, little knowing that far away someone else (now more technology than human flesh) has resurrected a brass killing machine called 'Mr Crane' to assist in a similar hunt encompassing star systems. When agent Cormac learns that this old enemy still lives, he sets out in pursuit aboard the attack ship Jack Ketch ...whilst scientist Mika begins discovering the horrifying truth about that ancient technology ostensibly produced by the alien Jain. Meanwhile, for the people of Cull, each day proves a struggle to survive on a planet roamed by ferocious insectile monsters, while they slowly construct the industrial base that may enable them to escape to their forefathers' starship - still orbiting far above them. But an entity with questionable motives, calling itself Dragon, assists them with genetic by-blows created out of humans and the hideous local monsters. And now the planet itself, for millennia geologically inactive, is increasingly suffering earthquakes ...'Compelling reading ...Asher has become a resounding and distinctive voice in British SF' - "SFRevu"., Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc., New York, New York, U.S.A: Julian Messner, Inc, 1964.

From Publishers Weekly The dashing band of mavericks introduced in The Ransom of Black Stealth One must hunt down and destroy an even deadlier aircraft this time: an unmanned, laser-armed vehicle with the ability to target an individual victim. To combat this threat, the U.S. government secretly engages pilot Kyle Corbett, aging, ill and still on the run from the law. He is accompanied by Petra Leigh, quite possibly the world's most beautiful stress analyst, and the two of them are assisted by mechanic-pilot buddy Raoul (Speedy) Medina. Opposing them is the wonderfully villainous scientist, Roland Clement, who loses no time in demonstrating that his deadly airship is a masterfully designed assassination tool. From the first pages, readers will be caught up in a suspenseful, romantic and gloriously improbable story in which the airships are the technical stars while the humans provide derring-do that Indiana Jones would envy. Corbett's confrontations with his own mortality and the extremely implausible climax are minor setbacks. A more serious deterrent to new readers is the assumption that readers will be familiar with the characters and their dilemmas. However, since these are among the liveliest aero-adventures around, readers may want to lay in a supply of the earlier books as well.

From Library Journal This follow-up to Ing's earlier novel, The Ransom of Black Stealth One ( LJ 8/89), features many of the same contrived characters. It also resembles its predecessor in its use of a technologically improbable vehicle in an implausible plot--which, unfortunately, is nearly identical to the earlier novel as well. Both books deal with the theft of top-secret stealth aircraft, which are then set loose in the United States. Recommended only for libraries with a large number of fans of The Ransom of Black Stealth One ; presumably, they might be interested in a sequel as silly as the original. - Jim Cunningham, Illinois Mathe matics & Science Acad., Aurora Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. <br/><br/> <br/><br/>12-22-15, Tor Books, 1994, Mosby-Year Book.
