Summary: Pournelle's `War World' Series
Comment: Jerry Pournelle, who was heavily influenced by the great H. Beam Piper and his Terro-Human Future History, devised his own future history that postulates the collapse of an interstellar empire into civil wars spanning centuries after the gene-engineered Sauron supermen decide to take over the mantle of civilization from the Empire of Man. The first book in the ``War World'' series introduces readers to Haven and for me the Poul Anderson story ``The Deserter'' is worth the price of admission. A very skillfully done story that really sets the stage for the death of the empire and how the planets and stars at the fringe are already feeling the pinch of interstellar trade being disrupted. ``The Toymaker'' is also a great short story here. Check this book out and I promise you that you won't be disappointed. A very good book here is followed by ``War World II: Death Head's Rebellion''

Summary: Part one of the vision
Comment: I feel that Jerry Pournelle had a great vision and wanted his vision put into sci-fi novels. This is book one of the whole series. This book was a good read and each story was written in thier own way by different authors. Honestly, I found some contridiction is the book but not enough to throw you off. I was surprise to find a story within the book written by Harry Turtledove. Now Harry Turtledove a known author, this must have be written before he became known. I wasn't excited by the book but if the book was written by one author I would of like it better. In my opinion, I feel that one author can truely project the true essence of a story.

Summary: War World v1, The Burning Eye
Comment: The first of many and a good read, J Pournelle was ahead of his time when he put together this book. Many of his and his coauthors stories and issues ring true today and fit well in the sci-fi genre. If you haven't read this one you need to to get the full flavor of the series
