Very good!

By Teresa D. Martin "Actually this is her son:-)" - May 20, 2006

This book is excellent. Kathy Tyers has produced a splendid cross between Science Fiction, and Christian values. I especially like the aspect of the Pre-Messiah society. Where they still depend on blood sacrifice to cover sins, and where they eagerly await the messiah. You don't see it as much in this book as in Fusion Fire, but it's definitely there. Kathy Tyers does an excellent job of portraying the greatness, and different aspects of God through her books. I have found the Firebird trilogy (books 1 & 2 at least) to be very thought provoking, as well as well-written. Some christian books are quite poorly written, or not properly proof-read. A disappointing reality. Firebird is one of the best books I've ever read. I rank the Trilogy right up with Tolkein and Lewis in my hall of fame.

three fabulous Judeo-Christian science fiction in one book

Instead, she does the unimaginable, dishonoring herself as she allows the enemy to capture her.

Fusion Fire. Princess Firebird and VeeRon Master Sentinel Brennan Caldwell have bonded and are expecting the birth of twin sons. However, her older sister Princess Phoena detests Firebird for choosing life when her destiny like all Wastling was death.

Crown of Fire. Phoena has managed to have Lady Firebird sentenced to death for treason and heresy while rebels are destroying cities on several... read more

Lady Firebird has captured my heart...

By A Kid's Review - August 31, 2005

This is undeniably my favorite trilogy of all time. I had read Kathy Tyers' Star Wars novels and loved them, so when I saw her name on the Firebird books (this was a few years ago) I simply had to have them. Little did I know what I was getting into... I went through the first book in two days, even though I was only ELEVEN at the time. So, what is Firebird about? Glad you asked...

Firebird (book 1): Lady Firebird Angelo is the third-born of the royal family of the world of Netaia, and as third-born, she is subject to Netaia's heir limitation laws. She is doomed to die as soon as her eldest sister secures the family line, with no remorse from her government. Being a navy pilot, she is sent with an attack force to the world of Veroh, under protection of Netaia's enemy: the Federacy. She is basically on a suicide mission, but instead of dying, she is captured. Under protection of genetic telepath Colonel Brennen Caldwell, she finds herself thinking treacherous thoughts... read more
