Recenzii
Harry Turtledove fans are in for a treat.. - Publisher Weekly (US)
The Five Star Republic is an absorbing adventure that provokes thoughts of what-might-have-been along with glimpses of a future that might still be achievable in our time. With their direct, lucid prose and painstaking research, Janeen Webb and Andrew Enstice have given us the beginning of what promises to be a major trilogy as well as an alternate history imbued with hope and promise rather than regret. Pamela Sargent
Multigenerational, sweeping across three continents, a rich and multinational cast of characters compete for gold, love, independence, and a surprising scientific development that changes everything. Inventive and absorbing alternate history. Nancy Kress
A visionary novel of a world that might have been...promises to be one of the major SF books of the year. Lee Harding
Enthralling...a page turner...it builds a credible picture of how solar might have trumped oil. Scientifically accurate and full of political intrigue, The Five Star Republic is the compelling account of a lost opportunity that might have been. Rob Gerrand
The authors have woven historical and fictional characters into the rich and glittering life of Nineteenth Century Melbourne, justifiably known at the time as the Paris of the South. The clothes, weapons, furniture, buildings, social conventions, manners and language have been researched meticulously. Imagine Anthony Trollope setting his Palliser novels in Victoria, and you have the idea... Sean McMullen
The nineteenth century voice is pitch perfect. This alternate history is a triumph!" Dena Bain Taylor
"An epic work in every possible way! This alternate history takes what we know, remember and imagine and sets us on a path toward the growth of what might have been: The Five Star Republics 19th century problems, opportunities, successes and reversals point to what could have been a very different technological futurepowered by the sunand one which could still be within our grasp. Literary historians Janeen Webb and Andrew Enstice have delivered a powerful fable that will resonate with readers all over the globe. Venero Armanno
