Is this book actually called “Starfist”? Or is it just Book VII in the Starfist Series?

Oh, I know you think it’s in the Kingdom Swords Series, but look at where that “Book VII” is. Nested comfortably under “Starfist” and nowhere near “Kingdom of Swords.” Definitely the 7th Starfist so far. Hey, Starfist must be popular with a certain… demographic.

And “Kingdom Swords?” Why it’s a series of series!

I try to keep my mind out of the gutter, but that guy has a mind of his own and sometime the gutter is just the place to be.

@Karl The series actually gets very good reviews on Amazon, and as a Warhammer 40k fan, StarFIST might just be right up your alley

The cover isn’t terrible. It’s not good, either. But “StarFIST”? Will there be star-fisting? Although the erotic fanfiction equivalent of said work is probably better written.

Am i the only person who thinks the tag line makes the novel sound like a homo-erotic SF?

Not to mention the book is called “starfist”… i mean… seriously…

Yea as hard as we might, we’re still not going to justify the police issue riot helmet… unless it was made out of the hard to mine, stronganium.

I quite like the jaggedy “Starfist” font. Puts me in mind of a 70s Marvel comic. But then so many things do.

Have you thought that the camouflage cream on the guy’s face might be a 25th century innovation? Using genetic engineering and resequenced chameleon DNA to create environment-matching skin patterns. And maybe the gun is, like, made of keratin and extruded from his own body. Come on, we have to try here.

And how do you know they aren’t firing some sort of advanced bullet. That teleports into your spine or lungs. Ohhhh…..

This is book number 7, written in 2002. There’s more… oh there is more.

I really wish I could believe that was the underpinning for this particular series . . .

Simon: for all we know, civilisation has collapsed back into the stone age and dragged itself back up the 21st-century levels in the intervening period.
