For 300,000 years, the ultimate battle between good and evil has raged across the galaxy. Now that battle comes to Earth. Iraq: A nuclear accident gives one man the power to crush all who oppose him.... This description may be from another edition of this product.
EPSILON is a hybrid of a comic book and a science fiction novel and I feel that it's quite unique, and an enjoyable read.The reader can be sunk into the action and escape from reality and yet due to his obvious interest in weapons and tactics, keep the reader connected to reality. The characters are quite extraordinary in their similarity to people we all know in the real world which makes you feel more connected to the story.I read this book near the time that the US was going into Iraq and the situations and locales were frighteningly similar to the goings on over there. The central characters are interesting and compel the reader to care about them during the ultimate battle of good versus evil.I hated to put it down betwen my reading times.It's definitely worth the investment of time and money. I had fun reading it. It is very entertaining.Great book by John J. Rust. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.And......

I'm really not that kind of a girl, but Jack Remmler in John J. Rust's "Epsilon" captured me. The story pussyfotted so quickly from stupid campus life to WOW! The world of Sci Fi is populated with weirdos-albiet wonderful folks,but Rust's sickos as well as honorable characters are real...I'm sure. Well, maybe. Lots of fun reading this one. Probably not intended to be a quick read, it's a book I couldn't put down until I turned the last page. Nurabi is a most captivating type. Watch out for him.
EPSILON My Hero

We all need heroes and EPSILON is mine. What would the world be without heroes such as EPSILON and Superman? They allow us to slip from earth bound creature to observer and action figure in the destruction of our enemies. After all, it is entertainment for the minds that can read and allow the other guy to do the conquering. Good book John J. Rust. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Comic Book meets Tom Clancy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I'm not a big comic book fan, but Epsilon may change that. Author John J. Rust blends a superhero story with a real down to earth, sometimes gritty, world. His interest in modern U.S. Military weapons and tactics clearly shows, keeping the reader's feet firmly planted on the ground, avoiding the usual pitfals associated with comic books shifting to the written medium. Epsilon is a very enjoyable read, and I plan on buying the sequel.On the point brought up by another reviewer, who Mr. Rust dedicates his book to has absolutly NO bearing on the quality of the book. It's nice to see someone show a close bond with thier parents.
