      First, the positives...there were a lot of fun one liners in this book, a reasonable number of interesting characters, and essentially non-stop action. This made for a fairly quick read.

      Unfortunately, for me the negatives rather outweigh the positives. Strike one, it's written in first person present tense. Mostly from the viewpoint of a single character (Durango), but there are some others thrown in there "when necessary". I find first person present tense to be very tricky to pull off properly in fiction. It isn't bad here, but there are a few rough spots and it is hard to get a full sense of the passage of time (not withstanding the date/time stamps at the start of each chapter).

      Strike two, starting in medias res combined with throwing a whole lot of unfamiliar terms and story elements at the reader with no explanations given whatsoever. While I am no real fan of the extended info-dump (it usually bogs down a story something fierce), having to piece together what things are and how they work with no confirmation as to whether or not I am doing it correctly isn't particularly fun either. There has to be a balance, and that balance wasn't present here. Having lots of flashy action only carries things so far.

      Strike three, there's a definite sense of "story soup" going on here. I could see elements that track to Firefly, Star Wars, Star Trek, Ender's Game, and samurai films. The tech seems very much subject to hand-wavium, and seems applied inconsistently throughout the story. I found it hard to get a real sense of time and place as a result. Particularly when you have a few characters in a far-distant, semi-dystopian future still quoting heavily from 19th century literature and 20th century culture (and people get the references without problems). Oh, and the mishmash of languages being dropped (untranslated, mind you) here and there, apparently for the purposes of flavour and world-building? Didn't work for me. There were too many of them, they weren't consistently applied, and it just came across as sloppy.

      The story is also quite violent. This is to be expected as Durango and company are mercenary soldiers, but still. There were a number of places where it was really hard to follow the action, and on more than one occasion I found myself wondering just how things were supposed to work from a physics perspective. If I'm thinking more about the physics and logistics of a fight than the tension it is supposed to be building in the story, then I'd say something isn't working properly with the story.

      I got this book through the B&N Nook Free Friday program.
    • 4/5
      Good old-fashioned Martian sci-fi (complete with some unintentional sci-fi sexism.) I enjoyed this exciting tale of shunned soldiers, loyalty, tenets, and betrayals. Can't wait for the sequel!
    • 3/5
      Durango is a regulator on human-settled Mars. He is also a dalit, considered beneath contempt because he didn't commit ritual suicide when his leader. His sense of honor and responsibility lead him to take on a job in a mining community being attacked by cannibalistic dog-men.
    • 3/5
      Great Martian adventure -- I don't buy that that protagonist is 16 -- didn't feel that way, ever, but the story's good and the world is interesting. Hooray!
    • 5/5
      Strong, traditional science fiction with a militaristic aspect. This should appeal to fans of Starship Troopers or Ender's Game, although in this case the rigid training is tempered with humanity. Set on Mars, there's a whole lot of backstory about terraforming and a plague on Earth and how this society came to be, where power rests in the hands of the CEOs of various family-held coporations. Mars' complicated past is shared in snippets throughout the ongoing efforts of Durango and his first, Vienne, to use their military training to earn their keep and do good deeds. He's a mercenary with a heart of gold.A good read, engaging and brisk. I'll happily read any sequels the author cares to write. I don't get the title at all though. It's kind of a weirdly generic scifi title, isn't it? It doesn't have anything to do with the story as far as I can tell.

      I’m not sure what it was about this book, but it reminded me of Firefly which is one of my favorite shows. It was just so good. It has lots of action and it had me laughing out loud. I can’t wait to pick up book two, Invisible Sun. If you are into Firefly, please check out this book. You’ll love it. If you don’t love it, I will be shocked. It’s amazing.If you’ve read this book and have seen Firefly, let me know if you agree with me.

      It was okay. No characters I could connect with. A little too much combat for me.

Maybe someday I will re-read Black Hole Sun and do another review. I have finished this trilogy and the other two books are just as good. For some stupid reason I didn’t write reviews for them. Better reviews (hopefully) in the future.

      Action packed military science fiction for young adults. A disgraced young former soldier leads a troop of freelance warriors against some really bad baddies.
    • 5/5
      Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: Action packed sci-fi book with fun characters, adventure, and an enticing plot.Opening Sentence: Now come the mousies nosing out their hole, think Kuhru as he wipes fresh bone marrow from his snout.The Review: Years ago there was a plague outbreak on earth and to save our species, people migrated to Mars. They built a colony and tried to make a world that was similar to earth, but it is nowhere close. Mars is a hot and rugged planet that is dangerous in many ways. Evil lurks in the corners preying on the innocent and weak. People have learned to look out for themselves and when help is needed it’s not easy to find. So when a remote mining town is being attacked by the gruesome Draeu, a cannibalistic race, only one man responds to their call for help: Jacob Durango.Durango is a regulator on the planet of Mars, which is basically a solider/policeman, but he fell into disgrace when his father was sent to prison. The regulators live by a set of rules called the tenets, where you are bound by honor to serve and help those in need. Times on Mars are rough, so most regulators no longer care to follow the rules, they just look out for themselves. Durango is one of the few left that still has a sense of loyalty, so when a group of miners ask for his help, he is honor bound to help them. But will the price he has to pay be more than he bargained for?Durango is a very noble and admirable hero. He has a haunting past that has made him the man he is today, but instead of it making him bitter, it has made him appreciate his life. He is courageous, honorable, good looking, and funny. I felt that he was a very well rounded character that had many great qualities, but also had flaws that made him more relatable. I found that I really enjoyed being inside his head and he was really easy to connect with. The one thing I did miss was more details of his background. So much of who he is now is because of his tragic past, but you only get glimpses of what happened to him. I hope in the sequel the author will give us more information about Durango and his full story.Black Hole Sun was action packed with a rather captivating story. From the first page you are plunged into an intriguing plot filled with villains, adventure, and a smidgen of romance. Pacing in the novel was done perfectly, there was never any moments that dragged, and it was easy to fly through the pages. The world-building aspect had the same problem as the characters; the author didn’t quite give me enough background information. At times it made it slightly confusing and left the reader floundering at parts in the story. But with that being said, it was a very enjoyable read that left me eager to read the second book. This is a book that both guys and girls would really enjoy, and I would recommend it if you like the YA Sci-fi genre.Notable Scene:“No Regulator worth a lick is going to work a hundred coin job.”“We are,” I say.“We’re different.”By different, she means better. “Well,” I say. “If worse comes to worse, I already have a couple Regulators in mind.”She glares at me. “I said, good Regulators.”“One’s a carking good demolitionist, and the other one’s…well, he must be good for something.”I flash a cheesy grin. “Come on Vienne. It’ll be fun.”“You and I,” she said, hands on hips, “have completely different definitions of fun.”FTC Advisory: Greenwillow Books/Harper Collins provided me with a copy of Black Hole Sun. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
    • 2/5
      I'm conflicted about this book. The dialogue is funny, fast and Whedon-esque (in fact, a LOT of this book could have been modeled on Firefly. A disturbing amount, as I think about it) and the characters are likable enough- but there's inadequate world-building. I didn't get enough of the backstory to believe, and I didn't get enough insight into the characters to really care deeply. The flow of the plot was choppy and difficult to follow, though action-packed and exciting.

    • 3/5
      The book moved along at a good pace with a lot of action (gun fire, explosions, cannibals, snowmobile chases). The characterization is weak, but perhaps the book is meant to appeal more to a crowd that prefers the aforementioned action to knowing much about the backstories of the characters. Despite that, I did rather like the chief and his davos, even though I knew little about them. The action scenes are well-drawn, allowing me to draw a decent picture of the scene in my head, which some books do not. The plot could have been better too, I felt. Much of the book seems to be spent running after characters who have gone sneaking off for no particular reason. This was fine the first time, but got old quickly. Another odd element was the creation of a new menace in the last few pages, some evil lurking an area never mentioned before then. I suppose this indicates that a sequel is in the works. At this point, I cannot say whether I will read it, but suspect that I may not unless I hear some really good buzz. I recommend this one for anyone who loves battle scenes and explosions.
    • 3/5
      Have you been waiting for a new book that adheres more closely to standard science fiction? Perhaps you should give this one a try. At least, that was my thinking when I started reading it.

      Life on Mars is hard for Durango. He ekes out a living as best he can, even though he is dalit. He has a mysterious past and a mysterious mission.

      I do have a few complaints about the book. I thought the beginning was well done but it tapered off toward the end. There were a couple of things that just randomly seemed to happen (if I explain further it would be a spoiler) and I just was not impressed with it. Lastly, if you have seen Firefly, the random Chinese swearing and a few other aspects will be off-putting.

      Overall, I liked the book. The beginning was very good and I had a hard-time putting it down. The ending, however, left a lot to be desired, and I think it was attempting to set up for a sequel. I would read the sequel if there was one, to see if some of the issues I had with this book were cleaned up.

      Gill, D.M. (2010). Black Hole Sun. New York: Greenwillow Books.340 pages.Appetizer: I'm having an exceptionally difficult time figuring out how to describe this book. It's one of those books in which the actual plot doesn't become apparent until about 100 pages in and when you describe it, you don't want to ignore those first 100 pages entirely. I think the book jacket blurb person had trouble too:Durango is playing the cards he was dealt. And it's not a good hand.He's lost his family.He's lost his crew.And he's got the scars to prove it.You don't want to mess with Durango.No, I imagine I don't want to mess with Durango.But what does that mean? What is this book about? Except from an angry boy with scars who I don't want to mess with?Here's my best try: Durango lives on Mars. Mars is a stinky place (literally and figuratively). An outsider, Durango works as a regulator to try to restore justice. He has an artificial intelligence implant that is named Mimi and that talks to him and is almost always sarcastic (Love her!). And he kinda-sorta, maybe, likes/loves Vienne, the girl who works for him. But their relationship is purely professional. It'd be wrong to let her know how he feels. Against the rules. When some miners have some trouble with some Draeu (cannibals!), it falls to Durango and a rag-tag group of regulators to help them, completely unaware that their long-shot mission will have an impact on the entire planet.Does all of that make sense?Without hearing about the starred and positive reviews, I probably wouldn't have picked up this book. Don't get me wrong, I love sci-fi. I love humor. I love adventure. I don't like the title. Everytime I read "Black Hole Sun" I inevitably get the Soundgarden song stuck in my head. The Soundgarden song that I don't know most of the lyrics to. It's a wee bit annoying. "Black hole sun! Black hole sun! Won't you come and wash away the raaaain," or whatever. It's a bit whiney for my taste. Plus it gives me flashbacks to middle school. Not a good time for me. Ugh.But after I got beyond the title of flashbacks and whiney song, I really enjoyed this book. There is so much action that it's hard to put the book down. The banter between Durango and Mimi, the A.I. implant, was hilarious. (But I was confused. Mimi can read Durango's thoughts. That's fine. But can only Durango hear her when she speaks? I thought so, but toards the end of the book, I swear, someone else responds to one of Mimi's comments and I got confused. The book never explains this.)I didn't want to stop reading, even though as far as 80 pages in, much of the background of the culture, weird sci-fi terms and Durango's own story were still unexplained (meaning this book would have been a wee bit frustrating for YA readers who aren't already fond of sci-fi). I found that Durango reminded me a lot of Captain Mal from the Firefly series/Serenity movie. And at other moments, I was reminded of Han Solo. These certainly aren't bad comparisons for readers looking for a new bad boy sci-fi role model or crush (or am I the only nerd who is regularly on the search for a new bad boy sci-fi crush? Any one?).While I liked Durango as a character and the tension he dealt with as he was in love with someone he worked but couldn't date due to his belief in The Tenets, or the strict code of conduct for being a regulator, I had a lot of trouble understanding the motives of the maaaaaaaaaaaaany girls in his life. I guess I kind of understood Vienne, mostly because I just though of her as being a teenage version of Zoe from Firefly.But the others, one minute one is flirting with Durango, the next moment she's weeping and I did not understand the change. I suppose I could put on happy rose-colored glasses and argue I was fully in Durango's "guy" perspective, but I tend to think I could have used a little more character development with some of the secondary characters.Dinner Conversation: "Now come the mousies nosing out their hole, thinks Kuhru as he wipes fresh bone marrow from his snout. Three pretty little mousies. Humans. Females. Ripe and soft and full of warm blood. He shudders. It will be ecstasy to hunt them down" (p. 1)."Mars stinks. From the depths of its rock quarries to the iron-laden dirt that covers the planet's crust, it has a pungent, metallic tang that you can taste in your mouth. And it isn't just the soil. Our polluted air is poisoned with the stink of human waste and burning fuel. The terraformed oceans stink; the newborn rivers reek; as do the lakes, which spew a perpetual efflux of sulfur. The whole planet is a compost heap, intentionally designed to rot and burn endlessly so that one day, its air will be completely breathable, and its waters capable of supporting life. But tonight the stink is so powerful, I can smell it up here. Ten kilometers above the surface. Where I'm standing on a small square platform. Looking straight down.About to wet myself" (p. 4)."Trouble always finds me. People like this, their desperation is inversely proportional to the amount of money in their pockets. The more they need a Regulator, the less they've got to pay for one. Not this time. Not me. No more charity works. I need paying clients. It's the curiosity that kills me. Miners? What are miners doing in New Eden?" (p. 55)."You disappoint me, Jacob."Here it comes."Your biological mother was chosen for her intelligence and physical prowess. A PhD in molecular biology who was an Olympic swimmer. The surrogate who birthed you was the finest available. Your birth was without event. Your education demanding, your training flawless. This is not your destiny, Jacob. It is your destiny to become the leader of Mars, not a common dalit mercenary."For a moment I say nothing. Look down and away from his relentless gaze, the way I did as a child. "You made me a dalit, Father" (pp. 81-82).Tasty Rating: !!!!
    • 4/5
      It's hard to find good SF, regardless of if it's YA or adult (or even J). Black Hole Sun is decent, if not good. The title is confusing, because I was expecting something a it more SF and less fantasy and dealing with the sun. Instead, this was a book about Mars and, in a way, what it means to be human and how you measure that against your duties. It's a rescue novel and it's engrossing, but I was disappointed that it ended when it did. I hope there's more, because it felt unfinished.
    • 4/5
      Durango is a teenage soldier, a renegade Regulator on a human-colonized Mars. His past, like his reputation, is questionable, but when a group of miners begs him to defend them from the cannibalistic Draeu, he feels honor-bound to accept. The trouble is, these Draeu are unusually hard--maybe even impossible--to kill.Here's the thing: I really enjoyed this book. But I liked it more when it was a movie called Serenity. Granted, any space-cowboy story is going to have similarities to mainstays like Star Wars or Firefly, but the Draeu plot feels like it was lifted directly from Joss Whedon's mind. The government tried to make people better, and instead turned them into cannibalistic, self-mutilating marauders? As Mal would probably say: "Huh."

      Durango is a self-employed ex-Regulator on the scrappy future colony of Mars. He has an AI implanted in his brain and does random odd jobs in his hi-tech “armor” suit. His next job leads him to a group of miners trying to protect themselves from the Draeu, scary human-like creatures with a penchant for violence and distruction. Should be no sweat, right?But even Durango can’t prepare for what he’s gotten himself into.Have you heard of Firefly, the sci-fi/western Joss Whedon-directed TV show that’s arguably one of the best shows ever produced? BLACK HOLE SUN is very much like Firefly, which is both good and challenging: the book has a similar sense of humor, characterization, and setting, but is hard-pressed to live up to its fantastic inspiration.The best thing about BLACK HOLE SUN is hands-down Durango’s voice. He’s a definite Captain Mal Reynolds: once an accomplished academy member turned self-employed rogue, with all the snarkily pragmatic disaffection that such a position nurtures. He and his AI, his cheeky former boss Mimi, provide neverending amounts of conversational back-and-forths, you know, the sort you always wish you could engage in in real life but could never real pull off except with multiple revisions. Durango’s witty dialogue takes center stage and never fails to leave you chuckling, even as the plot plods and the other characters don’t shine as brightly.Indeed, BLACK HOLE SUN sometimes feels like it relies too much on the appeal of Durango’s voice to pay more attention to other important elements of story. It’s slow-going, the plot: the main conflict doesn’t even arise until almost halfway through the book, and even then it meanders so much that oftentimes I found myself scratching my head and wondering if there was anything, anything at all, going on. The supporting characters are way less developed. With the exception of Vienne, Durango’s right hand and maybe-maybe-not love interest, the other characters don’t really stand out or make much of a lasting impression.If you read BLACK HOLE SUN, read it for its brilliant voice, one of the most unique ones out there currently in YA lit. It’s no Firefly, but if you’re okay with a slower plot, then you get to focus on the brilliance that is Durango’s character.
    • 4/5
      In this fast-paced scifi adventure, Durango leads a group of mercenaries to defend a the residents of an isolated mine from the cannibalistic Draeu. Gill does an excellent job of universe-building his dystopian Mars, but details never get in the way of the action. The violence is interspersed with a lot of humor, quite a bit of the laugh-out-loud variety, which keeps the novel from being overly bleak (as Gill's Mars is). Overall, it's a sweeping, fast-paced adventure on a well-described world and highly recommended for scifi fans, particularly Star Wars fans and lovers of space westerns.
