Top Notch

I have been a Mack Reynolds fan for many years and still continue to enjoy rereading his stories

Medal of Honor

If I had known this was a book I could read in 1.5 hrs before I bought it, I WOULDN'T. Unbelievable how much this short story dressed up in a larger book cost. TOTAL RIP!

Dubious distinction

Medal of Honor, a novella by Mack Reynolds, was originally published in the November 1960 issue of Amazing Science Fiction Stories magazine. The story takes place at an undisclosed period in the future when mankind has colonized the solar system and maintains a military presence in interstellar space. Lieutenant Don Mathers is a pilot in the Space Service. He patrols a sector of the galaxy in a one-man scout ship, keeping a look out for the Kradens, an alien race at war with Earth. Mathers is just beginning to grow tired of his military career when he is presented with the possibility of being decorated with the Galactic Medal of Honor. Any recipient of this highest award is said to âdo no wrong.â He has carte blanche to do as he pleases, laws do not apply to him, and he needs no money because he can have anything he wants for free. The scheme by which Mathers might come by this prestigious award, however, is not remotely ethical. He faces the moral dilemma of whether he wishes to be the next great hero of the human race, even if his heroism is all based on lies.

The premise is somewhat interesting, but Reynolds never really does anything particularly novel with it. The story just kind of coasts along, proceeding pretty much as you would expect it to go. Reynoldsâs sense of humor is evident throughout, and it inspires a chuckle here and there, but there are no real surprises. Beyond the space travel element of the story, there really isnât any speculative science fiction going on either. Neither is there any great philosophical depth to the story, just a brief point made on the relationship between industry and government. Every once in a while, Reynolds really surprises me with an excellent, fun, and thought-provoking tale (like âGun for Hire,â âThe Business, As Usual,â or âCompounded Interest,â) but, as is perhaps too often the case with his stories, Medal of Honor is basically a military or business story that just happens to take place in the future and gets dressed up in sci-fi trappings.

My reaction to Medal of Honor is one of underwhelmed ambivalence, similar to that inspired by Reynoldsâs novellas Mercenary, Ultima Thule, and Status Quo. It is not a bad story, but there is nothing that sets it apart as particularly exciting, funny, or memorable. Reynolds demonstrates that he is clearly a skilled writer and competent storyteller, but one comes away from this work with the feeling that he didnât quite give his best effort. Nevertheless, I know heâs capable of better, and I will continue to hunt for the gems in his body of work.

Not the novel

This is the short story from Amazing Magazine and not the longer novel. Look for "Galactic Medal of Honor" for that. It has the same premise but a much richer plot.

Members Reviews:

Samantha, Samantha, Samantha........

Poor Will. His girlfriend is in the hospital, and he just wants to be left alone to concentrate on her. However, Will's therapist, John, has given his name to Campbell Haddoc (who had also been one of John's clients).

Haddoc has recently been released from prison for murdering his wife, and he is convinced her ghost is trying to kill him. John knows firsthand about Will's ability to communicate with ghosts so he believes Will can help Haddoc.

However, Will is not anxious to help Haddoc. After all, Haddoc had admitted the brutal attack and even led authorities to the grave where he had buried his wife, Samantha. But who else is there to help him? And besides - Will is one of the good guys. He knows John would not have given his phone number to Haddoc if this were not a dire situation.

But who says Haddoc really knows this ghost is Samantha? Or even the reason the ghost is after him? Will, don't close the case file until Samantha (?) is resting in peace.

Ok... light read, some suspense and mystery.

A fair light read. The story was rather short, didn't have much in the way of development, and there was a negative tone all throughout. If it's going to be that short, I'd rather it were a bit more light hearted. Interesting premise, though. I guess if I were to read all the books in the series it would be more well rounded out, but it didn't capture my interest enough to get the other books. Not if I have to pay for them.

Samantha leaves me wanting the next story in the series.

Will is a U.S. Marshal with a twist... he happens to have psychic visions. This story was about Will having to deal with a ghost and it goes a little bit more into his past. He's on a job to help a man with a spirit that's been haunting him and well, I won't spoil anything for you. I'm also intrigued about his Samantha, as there wasn't all that much gone into about his past with her... just enough for me to need to know more. There are three more in the series. "Island Ghosts" (the first), "The Bridge" and "Nighteyes". Infact, the David Bain states in the notes from the author that he wants feedback from the fans. He wants to write two novels having to do with Will Castleton, but only if he hears that readers want them. So leave those reviews and let him know how you feel. :)

Publisher's Summary:

A story of loyalty, devotion, and turmoil.

Condemned to live a life of exile with the beast, he learns as a young boy that the price of peace for his village comes with the greatest of all costs.

Members Reviews:

I really liked the main idea

For me the dragon of unrest by Anthony Russo is an example of a problem I feel we face with a lot of books, which is a book with a great idea ruined by the plot.

I think its so hard to review a book with only 30 pages (only half an hour for an audio book copy ), but I will try my best. The story talks about a tired young man who is remembering how he got where he is now (and by that I mean with a dragon who eats humans, and as an outcast ,because of this dragon ) .yep thats it.

Well I really liked the main idea, because it was kind of new and creative idea, the plot had a very good potential for a great trilogy, yet it just ended so fast to even enjoy it ,the characters were so pale and undeveloped (because the shortness of the story I think ), I was very frustrated with the ending, it was very disappointing and empty.

The narrator is Felbrigg Herriot, and I feel that he performed it in more dramatic way than it really deserved, and while I liked how he controlled his voice to become so calm and sad to maintain the feelings of the main character, I felt that some scenes werent performed as it should be, the action was kind of lost in the narration ,yet in general it delivered the inside monologue in a very good way.
