| 1. Favorite book and why? |
I find it hard to narrow down my preference for a favorite Timothy Zahn book, so I shall have to say that even my least favorite is amoung my favorites. I enjoy Mr. Zahn's ability to weave common themes into well-crafted stories, with stong character development, polical and social intrigues and back them with scientific principles.
|
| 2. Least favorite book and why? |
Deadmans Switch, because of the zombie pilots.(yuk)Even so,I have to say that I still like this book.
|
| 3. Favorite scene in favorite book and why? |
Since I am currently re-reading Cobra/Cobra Strike, I like the scene when Kennet Mcdonald's body rises from his funeral repose and blasts Challinor and his rebel cobras.
|
| 5. Which character do you identify most with and why? |
There is no one character that I identify with more than another. There are aspects of each main character in every story that Mr. Zahn has written that I can relate to.(One of the reasons that I like his writing so much!)
|
| 6. If you could see a sequel to one of the author's books, which would it
be and what would it be about? |
I would like to see both a prequel and a sequel to the Conqueror series books.In the former I would like to know more about Lord Stewart Cavanah, before and after he enters politics. With the latter, I would like to see what happens to Gilag and the Cavanah clan.
|
| 7. What do you like about author's writing style? |
Besides what I already have mentioned, I also like his limited use of profanity and gratuitous sexual situations.
|
| 8. What are your favorite themes of this author? |
Mr. Zahn uses a variety of themes throughout the bulk of his books that relate to the everday lives of indivuals and society as a whole. In the Conqueror series, the treatment of senior citizens (a.k.a. Elders) was the most thought- provoking aspect as well as suicide/euthenasia. In "A Coming of Age", education, cults and gangs and societies responses to these problems were themes that I found myself sympathizing with; the point being that Mr. Zahn writes using themes that makes a person think beyond the basic plot of his stories.
|
| 9. What could be most improved about this authors books? |
The frequency with which they are written.
