Chalker is stronger on concept than execution, stronger on premise than story, and "Web of the Chozen" is no exception. It was an enjoyable read, pleasant enough that I read it several times during my teenage years, but ultimately shallow. Read it for the first two-thirds, in which the main character experiences and then comes to terms with his situation, and not for the last third, which skims over interesting topics and finally concludes with an unsatisfying summary of events. Recommendation: If you like Chalker, this one is worth picking up, but its storytelling flaws make it a toss-up for anyone new to this author. This book is a variation on the [Four Lords of the Diamond] series in which a Scout (Bar Holiday) comes across a generational ship in orbit around a nice planet populated by a herd animal but no humans. He lands and finds that the planet is infected with an engineered retrovirus that morphs him into one the animals. This was a good read, not to strenuous and perfect for taking with you on vacation (which is where I usually re-read it). Its an interesting story where the author is exploring an idea. This is my favorite type of writing and I think that's where Sci-Fi really shines. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Jack's one saving grace though is he's a pretty good story teller with a quick smooth writing style and he's of course very imaginative. So in the end this was a pretty quick,
easy and somewhat interesting sci fi read, if a little predicable and flat plot-wise. ( )
