Reviews
Gerrold's growing assortment of military sf serials spawns yet another sequel, this time to The Voyage of the Star Wolf (1990). Here, the crew of the faster-than-light Star Wolf receives staggering news that their battleship is slated to be decommissioned and cannibalized for parts. As Captain Hardesty lies hovering near brain death, Commander John Korie takes charge, vowing to make the Star Wolf battle again by removing all traces of deadly nanotech weapons placed onboard by Morthan assassins. That mission becomes stymied, unfortunately, when the crew discovers a stowaway Morthan "imp" --an ingeniously adaptive biocomputer bent on destroying both the Star Wolf and Stardock. Gerrold elevates his story line above standard battle-driven fare by focusing on the intense war of wits between the Star Wolf's fully dimensional human crew and its unique alien adversary. He produces intelligent and entertaining hard sf that remains blessedly free of the militaristic stereotypes rampant in other examples of the subgenre. Carl Hays
