New from FASA--a fiction series based on its most popular board game! CRIMSON SKY FICTION These novels, based on the exciting Microsoft computer game (scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2000) and FASA's popular board game, introduce the world of Crimson Skies. In the 1930s--of an alternative-history America--air militias from fragmented nation-states fight to protect themselves from pirates and other raiders. In this America, the planes are faster, the guns are bigger, and life is more exciting. The first series follows the transformation of Trevor "Rogue" Rheese from law-abiding security agent to pirate with a heart of gold.

Leyendo las aventuras de Nathan Zachary me aventuré con este primer libro protagonizado por Trevor.
El problema es que el personaje principal no tiene demasiado carisma y estaba escrito de forma un poco liosa en algunos puntos. Por lo que me costó simpatizar con el protagonista y la historia. Aunque a medida que se introducen personajes como Betty, Nathan o Víctor, todo mejora al diluir el peso de Trevor en la trama.
Me cuesta recomendar este libro. Para cualquiera que le guste el universo, es una historia extra en la que se puede aventurar, pero teniendo en cuenta que la primera parte del libro se hace bastante larga y Trevor no es un incentivo.
I like Loren L.Coleman, I mostly only read his Battletech work but I know when I pick-up one of his book that it would be quality writing.
I was really intrigued by the Crimson Skies world and I like older airplane so I start this one with anticipation (didn't start before because I didn't have the other 2 books)
You got a lot air fighting and even if I didn't know all the term or can appreciate fully all the depth of technical description, I still could live the story. You have a terriffic scenario for a movie or a TV series with this book.
Another good touch, they put drawing of pin-up girls inside the covers, it's good idea.
So if you like older movie with action, romance, planes and pirates you won't miss with Wings of Justice.
My main complain is that I will have to buy the other books now!
