OUTSTANDING REFERENCE TOOL.......2007-09-14
Previously, DK Books has release four volumes in their Star Wars cross-sections series, covering the various Star Wars films. In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, they've now combines all four of those volumes, along with new illustrations into the massive Star Wars: The Complete Cross Sections. This coffee table-sized hardcover book packs information on every ship and vehicle used in the six films into 152 full-color pages. John Knoll, the Visual Effects Supervisor for episodes I - III, provides the foreword to the book.
The book is basically an encyclopedia for Star Wars ships and vehicles. The items are shown in a cutaway art, allowing the reader to not only see the outside, but also see the interiors as well. This gives fans a unique viewpoint as you generally didn't get a chance to see inside many of these ships and vehicles in the films themselves. Most of these are given a full two-page spread which include data files about each one. The data files provide information such as design and manufacture, wingspan, speed, crew capacity, armament, dimensions, ship or vehicle type, and other special features.
The book begins with Episode I, The Phantom Menace with each of the first three episodes getting their own chapter while the original three films are combined into the last chapter. In addition to the data files, a host of other information is provided on each vehicle as well. Text keys with map lines are drawn to each, pointing out important features of each vehicle. These are about the next best thing to the actual ships blueprints. The detail is simply amazing! On the Naboo Cruiser for example we see where the fuel tanks and fuel lines are located, along with coolant ducts, deflector shield projectors, sensor arrays and even mundane things such as the crew lounge and locker areas. These allow the reader to get inside these massive vehicles and ships and almost take a virtual tour through them.
Get up close and personal with Jango Boba Fett's heavily armed Slave I ship with its blaster cannons, laser cannons, missile launchers, and mine layers. Other ships included from the episodes I to III include Padme's Starship, ARC -170 Fighter, General Grievous's Wheel Bike, Pod Racers, and Palpatine's Shuttle.
The final chapter dealing with the three original films has certainly the most popular ships for fans including the Millennium Falcon, AT-AT Walker, Jabba's Barge, and Darth Vader's Tie Fighter. Several of the major ships and vehicles get fold out sections that provide four full pages worth of data. Chief among these is the first Death Star. The Slave I makes a second appearance here that includes the modifications made by Jango Fett's son, Boba.
Hats off to DK Books for also profiling the two artists whose brilliant work is on display here, Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore. The detail and effort that went into these drawings is truly phenomenal. This is one of those items that is tailor-made for the hardcore Star Wars fan, a reference tool that can be consulted over and over again.
REVIEWED BY TIM JANSON
5 stars for COMPLETE Cross-sections!!.......2007-08-23
People should get Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections.
Here are three reasons why anyone who likes Star Wars should get this book.
1. Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections includes information about ALL six episodes in one book. It's great to have it all in one volume instead of four separate books (Episodes I, II, III, and the Trilogy).
2. Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections has extra content not included in the separate volumes. The Imperial Shuttle, the RZ-1 A-Wing, and the B-Wing Star Fighter are new material in the combined book.
3. Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections is jam-packed with large full color illustrations and tons of fascinating facts. The pages are crowded, but the information is great.
The Star Wars Complete Cross-Sections book rules the galaxy and any Star Wars fan would just love to have a copy. I checked it out of the library, but now it's on my Christmas wish list!!
My 5 year old loves it!.......2007-08-11
I purchased this for my 5 year old because he loves Star Wars. We have a couple of other Star Wars guides. He loves the cross section book because "it shows all the ships and details and that's cool". He loves finding something small that I would have missed. Great book for all ages.
Not What I Expected But Great Nontheless.......2007-07-05
Don't know why but I was expecting technical drawings of the Star Wars vehicles. Instead I get beautiful drawings of the vehicles and some of the characters which was an unexpected plus. Especially for scale comparison with some of the bigger vehicles. The reason this item dose not get five stars from me is because when reading the book things can get somewhat confusing there is so much info on each page it practically spills out from the sides. I would recommend it to anybody who wants more information on their favorite Star Wars vehicles!

My son has not put this book away since we bought it. It goes on every car ride with us, and even to school for free time reading. The pictures are beautiful. He absolutely loves it.

Who knew proton torpedoes were so expensive? Apparently that's why Luke only had one pair when he set out to take down the Death Star. And that's not the only bit of trivia you'll bring away from this aptly subtitled Ultimate Guide to Star Wars Vehicles and Spacecraft. Whether you're looking for the bathroom on Jabba's sail barge or you just want to see where Boba Fett catches a few winks on Slave I, this is the book for you. In Star Wars: Incredible Cross-Sections, author-archaeologist David West Reynolds zooms out from cataloguing minutiae as he did in Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, and instead takes apart the big toys of Star Wars, from AT-ATs to X-Wings.
Full-color, exploded technical illustrations get you under the hood of every noteworthy ship in the Star Wars trilogy, from a grand tour of a Jawa Sandcrawler to a sprawling, four-page foldout of (what else but?) the Death Star. Detailed labels and realistic, miniature depictions of crew and characters roaming around each ship are so engaging that you may find yourself imagining you're on the Millennium Falcon giving Chewie a hand with the power couplings. --Paul Hughes

SW Cross-sections Eps. IV-VI.......2006-03-15
A fun look inside the beloved spacecraft of the Classic Trilogy of Star Wars movies, the book delves into the histories, relationships between, and (pseudo)science behind such iconic vehicles as the Millennium Falcon, the Imperial Star Destroyer, TIE fighters, X-Wings, the Death Star, Slave 1, and so on. A book of incredibly detailed cutaways and well-considered textual notes, this collection nonetheless feels a little thin and less detailed than the companion volumes created for the Episodes I-III, which possess a more premeditated backstory and are rendered in almost exasperating detail. In fact, the volumes for the Classic Trilogy and those for Episodes I-III could be said to warrant criticisms similar to the movies themselves -- the original films/volume feature a whiz-bang melodrama with exciting places and artifacts that allude to an unseen galactic history thousands of years deep, while the new episodes/volumes display the baroque details of thousands of years of galactic history and politics without the unifying resonance of a compelling drama to bring them fully to life. However, I would recommend all the volumes for children of all ages who like to dream and marvel over how things work, or might work, on Earth or in a galaxy far, far away.
Very Good book! .......2006-03-06
I love this book. I always wanted to see twhat the inside of an At-At looked like, and it shows you. This book tells you about different starships and shows you the inside of the Y-wing. It points to where the weapons, communications and fuel parts are. The thing that I really liked about this book was the cross-sections of the sandcrawler. It shows you what the inside of a sandcrawler looks like and points to where the Jawa's sleep and work. The two things I diidn't like about this book was that when it shows you the inside of a star destroyer, it only shows you like the fuel and power generator things. It doesn't show you where the people are really. The other thing I didn't like was that the book was way to short, they could have showed the A-Wing and stuff like that. I enjoyed the snowspeeder in this book and the cross-sections of the X-wing because it showed you where the controls and pedals were. I would definately reccomend this book. If you were ever wondering what the inside of the Slave 1 or the inside of Jabba's sail barge looked like, this book shows it all. THere are two illustrators in this book, but their drawings look the same. GOOD BOOK!
A dream for a vehicle lover!.......2006-02-27
I always wanted to see more and to be able to look inside of the vehicles more closely, and this book provides that information (and more more) in great detail. I really like the mini illustrations of where in the vehicles that events from the movies took place, it helps to "put a name to a face".
The best info about star wars craft I've ever seen.......2005-09-14
Hi, I just would like to tell you that these book its not only a peace of art it's also great collection item if you are a Star Wars fan!!!!! thank's!
Exactly what it says it is.......2005-09-08
These books are huge A3 sized, the drawings are mostly of very good quality, and the amount of information packed into them is huge. They are a wonderful addition for any sci-fi fan.
This edition for the original three films is probably the best, it covers the machines in amazing detail and the technical detail fits reasonably well with what's on the (huge) official website.
Of particular note is the double sized page on the Death Star which is absolutely amazing.
Criticisms
There are two big criticisms with all these books, the main one is that they are far to thin. There are many things in the films that are simply missing, how about cross sections of R2D2, a light sabre, a speeder bike, or things like the ion cannon. Even worse ships like the Star Destroyer although wonderful could benefit hugely from a page or two extra on them.
The second criticism is technical, in some ways things here don't entirely mesh with the movies, although the problems are very subtle and very minor. The films are extremely careful and clever technically, the enormous attention to detail separates the best from the rest. Ok I am a scientist and engineer who has taken an interest in exotic space craft designs for real. Some of the details in the first film in particular are quite staggering, it is obvious that some of the technical people involved had done some real work on the subject. Sadly the people behind all these `technical' books are not always quite so knowledgeable, but they are still very fascinating.
Product Description
Never before has the history of the air war on the Eastern Front been written in such depth, in such detail, and so carefully balanced between both sides. The air war on the Eastern Front in World War II was history's largest and longest air campaign. Nevertheless, it has been one of the least known and least understood chapters of aviation history. This is because prior to the release of the Black Cross/Red Star series, publications on this immense subject have been based on material taken almost exclusively from the German side. Black Cross/Red Star, presented in several photo-laden volumes, has evolved as the most complete and detailed series ever published on the air war on the Eastern Front. Volume 3, Everything for Stalingrad covers the German summer offensive in 1942; the subsequent fierce air battles over the Caucasus; the Luftwaffe's onslaught on Convoy PQ-17; the hard air war over the Central and Northern combat zones, when the Soviets launched their relief offensives in the summer and fall of 1942; and, mainly, the huge Air Battle over Stalingrad. This volume contains a large number of photos along with 37 high-quality aircraft color profiles by Claes Sundin.

Impressive and Valuable Book.......2007-06-06
The series "Black Cross Red Star" is a milestone in many respects. If you are interested of the air war over the Eastern Front these books are goldmines of information and contain many fabulous photos.
All books in the series are also well-balanced in the perspective as they have been made by specialists on both the German and Soviet air forces.
In this third volume the air war over Stalingrad and the Caucasus is highlighted. But unlike most other books on the Eastern Front this does not mean that the northernmost sector, over Murmansk, is forgotten. On the contrary the authors report extensively on this plus also on special female pilot detachments of the Soviets and the last great German successes, over Leningrad and Rzhev.
Being an author myself I am in awe at the amount of research that Christer Bergström and his friends have done. They have not spared themselves, that's for sure.
Finally I wish to stress that the photos, maps, paintings and lists are in themselves reason enough to acquire these books.
A Wealth of Information Previously Unknown in the West.......2007-02-08
Sub-Title: Everything for Stalingrad
This series of books, now in it's third volume (out of I believe four total) is a breakthrough in the description of the air war in the eastern front. For the first time we here in the west have been able to take advantage of the information being released out of the former Soviet Union. In this volume, the information is just about evenly balanced between information from the German and the Soviet sides in the battles. This includes not only the text, but also the pictures.
I didn't count them, but this book probably has about 200 pictures. You get the feeling that just about every type of plane flown by both sides. This includes more Me-109 variants than you can imagine as well as the Soviet and American planes such as P-39's, P-40's and B-25's given to the Soviets as part of Lend Lease.
The sub-title referring to Stalingrad shouldn't be taken as meaning the book is only about Stalingrad. It spends a lot of time talking about the battles around Leningrad, and has a quite complete description of the air attacks on convoy PQ-17.
This is a large format book, printed and bound using high quality materials.
Black Cross Red Star volume 3.......2007-02-07
This is the best volume so far of this series. A fast reading and excellent discription of the air war around Leningrad. The best was the portion of the book in the Caucasus air war. The description of the battle around Stalingrad was good but only gave one side of the description from either side in details many times about incidents.Christer Berstrom as always gives a very interesting view of the air war in the Arctic. I still believe it's one of the best descriptions so far to come of this aspect of the war in Russia. This seems to be winning team working on these volumes. Now I'm waiting for volume 4 to finish the story for this campaign in the south. Check out Vlad Antipov's book on "Dragon's On Bird Wings" for further reading of the southern air war from a Russian fighter regiment's view of Stalingrad and the war in the south.
Book Description
Peeling back layers to reveal cockpits, engines, hyperdrives, construction secrets, and much more, the Star Wars: Episode III Incredible Cross-Sections is a must-have for any Star Wars fan. From the smallest detail of the Trade Federation Cruiser to the thundering of a Republic Battle tank, this is the most definite guide to the vehicles and spaceships of Episode III.
Customer Reviews:
Not as good as the other two.......2005-07-28
I love the DK Episode's VI-IV & I,II Vehicles and Locations but I found the Episode III Space ships and Vehicles not all that amuseing I feel that it wasn't a completed book to end the spectacualr tiology books in the detailing of the great space ships and vehicles. The reason why I didn't get this one as my collection was becuase I didn't see Padme's Naboo Skiff, which we really didn't get to see much in the film, but i would of have liked to see the detaling at least . Over all it's a great book but not enough.
An Excellent Work of Star Wars Art.......2005-07-06
STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH - INCREDIBLE CROSS-SECTIONS is so visually captivating and interesting that I don't quite know how to begin describing it. The incredibly detailed, superbly painted cutaways of the major vehicles and vessels of STAR WARS: Episode III provide for a unique experience in literature.
This book commands your attention as it forces you to soak in several intricately detailed paintings of the amazing craft of Episode III. The text that accompanies each picture provides excellent descriptions of each ship's engines, weapons systems, radiation, shielding, etc. and shows you how each individual part of the ship works. (The descriptions go in-depth so far, in fact, that they almost leave me wondering if any of the technology of STAR WARS might be possible. The credit for this must go to the author's degree in theoretical astrophysics.) Each craft also has a "Data File" text box for a quick analysis of the manufacturer, dimensions, hyperdrive, and maximum speed of the specific vehicle.
In contrast to all of the pros, I do have a couple of cons: grammar in some parts of the book is not quite as good as it should be for such a major work. Also, I found that beneath the protective jacket, the hardcover has little splotches of glue smeared on it. Though this isn't a problem at all for me, it might be one for someone who must have their books looking perfectly clean inside and out.
Overall, this book is an excellent work of art that is certainly worthy of STAR WARS fans' time and money. Its commitment to perfection in its utterly detailed and spectacular paintings and its very good descriptive writing easily give this book the power to hammer out its very minor flaws and earn itself 5 stars.
Mostly good, but missing some interesting vehivales.......2005-06-21
This is on the whole an excellent book that has cross-sections of almost all of the key vehicles participating in The Revenge of the Sith. Of particular interest are the cross-sections of the Vector-Class Star Destroyers and the big-wheeled infantry armored-personnel carrier. I especially like how the vehicles that appear in Return of the Sith appear outwardly to be inferior, earlier versions of vehicles that appear in Episodes 4, 5, and 6, which makes perfect sense since the vehicles in the later episodes represent a 20-year evolution of technology. One thing that doesn't make particular sense, though, are that vehicles that have such amazing propulstion technology (hyperdrives, intergalactic travel, etc.) rely on what are basically Napoleonic-era battle strategies (i.e., broadside salvoes of main armament between capital ships) rather than a more realistic strategy of using capital ships as stand-off missile-platforms or carriers for small assault craft which represent the capital ships' main striking power (as in, an aircraft carrier's fighters and attack aircraft). This is to a large extent understandable in the fictional Star Wars universe, as watching big battleships exhanging broadsides is immensely entertaining, probably moreso than watching a big, beautiful star destroyer go down because some stupid A-win crashes through its bridge (apparently, people who have mastered intergalactic travel haven't mastered the art of having backup control centers for a capital ship). It also makes sense since its more entertaining to watch X-wings and TIE fighters dogfight WWi/WWII style rather than a cold, impersonal missile-launch contest. Having said all that, I disliked how this book devoted an entire section to Yoda's escape pod but neglected to have a page for those archaic versions of the TIE fighters that escorted Emperor Palpatine's shuttle to Coruscant at the end of Return of the Sith (when a wounded Darth Vader was being wheeled into the surgery center). It would have been interesting to see a cross section of that spacecraft. Also missing was a cross section of the archaic Corellian corvette that took Bail Organa and Princess Leia to Alderran at the end of the movie, when infants Luke and Leia were split up and hidden by the surviving Jedi to keep them from Vader.
Overall a highly-interesting book that makes an airline flight or wait in the doctor's office go by very fast, but the few missing vehicles put a slight damper on it overall.
Great!.......2005-04-21
I thought this book was great! It has very detailed illustrations and is a must buy for any Star Wars fan! The books binding and everything was great, including the dust jacket. So dont turn away from this book just becuase some white is showing in the binding.
Condition of book in question.......2005-04-21
The art is great. The commentary is nice to read. My problems with this item have nothing to do with it's content. I received this item with damage to the dust cover. Pretty bad, too. The material seperated, peeling back on the dust cover, causing a large whitish area visible on the cover. Then the replacement had similar damage to the dust jacket on the spine. Amazon told me that this is a wide-spread problem as of the last time I talked with them, 4/20/05. So, if you want the book, but don't care what condition the dust cover is in, order away. If you care about the apearance of the book, look elsewhere.

This book is the bomb! The art is amazing and facinates the imagination, the quality of the book is perfect, The cross-sections are the best and are getting bigger... and better than the last book and I can expect the next one to be the best of them all.

P.S. This book is DEFINITLY WORTH The money! Bye!
Another great cross section book for Star Wars.......2005-09-14
I just recently received this book and all I can say is that it's the bomb! The pages are full of intricate details about both the vehicles and story of Episode II. The foldout of the Republic Dropship is definitely a highlight of the series. If you like Star Wars and want to know more than you can possibly imagine about Star Wars engineering, pick this book up right away.
Yeap Dad this is a good one........2003-09-11
Ep 2's turn to have it's spaceships and other craft pulled apart and exposed in all their glory. Once again the foldout format is still the best and great for childern and grownups alike.
great for kids!.......2003-06-14
really ignites a kid's imagination. i got this for my nephew and he loves it!
Another great Star Wars book!.......2002-08-18
This Star Wars Cross-sections book is a must-have for Star Wars fans. The detailed renderings of all the main vehicles in AOTC is as impressive as the companion for The Phantom Menace. The writer, Curtis Saxon, has obviously done a great deal of investigation for everything, with so many detailed drawings and fascinating notes. For curios of the inner workings of all the speeders and starships, this is indespensible. Great stuff.

Want to get a battle-droid's-eye view of the inside of an AAT battle tank? Care to see what Darth Maul's hiding in the trunk of his sinister-looking Sith Infiltrator? You're in luck: the crew that brought us the super-cool Star Wars Visual Dictionary and the Incredible Cross-Sections for the first movie trilogy is back. Boy wonder archaeologist-author David West Reynolds has put together another Incredible Cross-Sections guide, this time pulling apart the vehicles and vessels in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. DK has mastered the art of making Star Wars fans drool, and this latest guide is definitely state of the art, opening up everything from Naboo starfighters to Trade Federation transports.
As always, Reynolds approaches the Star Wars universe with the respect and love of a fan, putting each ship in context with his characteristic friendly but scientific style. The clean chromium lines and meticulous wiring of Queen Amidala's Royal Starship reflect the order and honor of Naboo royalty; the flowing, shell-like details on a tribubble bongo sub show off the Gungans' organic aesthetic. The best ships, of course, belong to the bad guys: you can check out the secret weapons and cloak field generator packed aboard Maul's Infiltrator (which, we learn, has an "experimental" ion engine that will later put the I-E in TIE fighters), and the Trade Federation's droid starfighter and control ship get a full giant fold-out. From the "bunker-buster" high explosive shells spit out by an AAT to the flame emitter weapon on Sebulba's podracer, this inside-out tour makes all the stops you want it to. --Paul Hughes

I always wanted to see more and to be able to look inside of the vehicles more closely, and this book provides that information (and more more) in great detail. I really like the mini illustrations of where in the vehicles that events from the movies took place, it helps to "put a name to a face".
A Vroom with a View by garrie keyman.......2004-02-26
If you've stayed up nights wondering about the inner workings of a Naboo N-1 Starfighter, or even occasionally contemplate the unconventional solid-fuel concentrate slugs that the strange society of the Neimoidian traders use to give their droid starfighters such powerful thrust, you'll want to read Star Wars Episode I Incredible Cross-Sections cover-to-cover. This handsome book - deservedly referring to its illustrations as incredible - shows us a vroom with a view; more than fourteen vrooms, in fact.
SW Episode I Incredible Cross-Sections is brought to us by the great people at Dorling Kindersly Publishing -- or DK for short - where just about any topic you might think of has already been turned into a beautifully illustrated right-brained adventure in learning. The illustrators for this masterpiece are Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore, arguably the two artists with the best job available in that field this side of Alpha Centauri.
Jenssen, who specializes in technical art, especially machines, lives in England but claims to spend his vacations on Tatooine (no accounting for taste in vacation spots) where he has been known to engage in "moderately disreputable pursuits (he goes all the way to Tatooine for that?)." Chasemore has worked as an illustrator in both the U.S. and Europe on a great variety of projects, one of which was another collaboration with Jenssen: DK's Star Wars: Incredible Cross Sections featuring intergalactic vroom-vrooms previously made famous by the vision makers at Lucasfilms. Chasemore says he enjoys "perilous sports involving boards and high velocities (now, maybe he's the one who should check-out Tatooine).
Rounding out the gifted team taking us on intricate tours of Gungan Subs, Podracers, Coruscant taxis and Republic Cruisers, is Dr. David West Reynolds who earned his PhD in archeology at the University of Michigan. His background as a lecturer, veteran of field expeditions on three continents and as an author of scientific archeological publications should make one thing perfectly clear: you don't have to be a dullard denizen of the local mall scene to be a StarWars fan. If his background doesn't make it perfectly clear, the intellectual acuity of his copy will.
This must-have addition to the shelf of any die-hard StarWars fan is equally enjoyable to tot and teen as to tottering sage. It's a picture-book nonpareil or a detailed account of mid-power repulsorlifts and hydrostatic bubble projector units (if you do more than look at the pictures). It's even a trivia-hunter's true treasure. For instance (be honest now), did you know any of the names of Anakin's co-contenders for the Boonta Eve Podrace? Sure, you say - Sebulba. But anybody knows that! True buffs will want this book so they can win rounds of Star Wars Trivial Pursuit with answers like Ark "Bumpy" Roose, Teemto Pagalies, and the ever-impressive Clegg Holdfast.
If you like schematics (or even the word schematics - it's such a great one, isn't it?) you're going to want to pour over this book like hot fudge on a sundae. Featured is a dual fold-out center page affording a panoramic view of the Trade Federation's Droid Control Ship. The resultant artistry of this and the other detailed drawings was generated when the DK team worked directly with the film production art department at Lucas's Skywalker Ranch, mapping out the anatomy of each craft as it was being created. This book comes from the source, folks: from the source ... of the Force.
My ten-year-old loves taking turns with me reading sections of this book aloud and I can almost see his gray matter expanding (hasn't hurt his imagination too much, either) while we huddle by the lamplight. Only problem I'm left with now is what to do with all these detailed schematics of his own left lying about the house - outlandishly labeled creations from foreign worlds contemplating an invasion of Earth, no doubt. Hmm. Maybe I should call George Lucas.
This Is Wizzard Anni!!!.......2003-09-11
This edition is devoted to the Spaceships and Craft from The Phantom Menace.
As with Star Wars Cross Sections it is very well detailed and even better with todays print technology. Great for children and first generation Star Wars fans alike.
A good book...if you're into that sort of thing like me.......2002-06-22
I wouldn't call this the greatest technical book of all times. I wouldn't be suprised if this book wasn't nominated for any kind of award. But Episode 1: Incredible Cross-sections is captivating enough to stand on its own. I enjoyed it because I got to look through the insides of some of the film's most enigmatic ships and vessels like Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator and the Gungan Bongo. It's good for those who were still puzzled about the ships after the end of the film.
Very detailed book with few missing points.......2002-06-01
One of the missing points is the Chancellor ship which appeared in the movie and it was not displayed in this book.
It is more complete than the former book, even considering it is only for one movie and the other is for all three.
Other missing point is the lack of a picture of the ship without the cross-section. It is important to compare.
I recommend.

Book Description
Patricia Kelley has been raised a proper British lady--but she's become a stowaway. Her father is dead, and her future in peril. To claim the estate that is rightfully hers, she must travel across the seas to Barbados, hidden in the belly of merchant ship.
It is a daring escapade, and the plan works--for a time. But before she knows it, Patricia's secret is revealed, and she is torn between two worlds. During the day, she wears petticoats, inhabits the dignified realm of ship's officers, and trains as a surgeon's mate with the gentle Aeneas MacPherson; at night she dons pants and climbs the rigging in the rough company of sailors. And it is there, alongside boson's mate John Dalton, that she feels stunningly alive.
In this mesmerizing novel of daring, adventure, tragedy, and romance, Patricia must cross the threshold between night and day, lady and surgeon, and even woman and man. She must be bold in ways beyond her wildest dreams and take risks she never imagined possible. And she must fight for her life--and her love.

A Fascinating Voyage.......2007-10-07
The essence of a good novel is its ability to whisk you away to a place where you would not normally go. Linda Collison does such a thing wonderfully in her debut novel, Star-Crossed. Patricia Kelley sets out in 1760 from her paupered but privileged place in English society to claim her dead father's only estate asset, a sugar plantation in Barbados. Stowing away on a boat, she is first moonstruck by a bosun's mate, Brian Dalton, but then faces the dilemma of choosing Dalton's love or marriage's security with a more sensible choice to marry the ship's doctor, MacPherson. The entire story swings many times like a pendulum between this two contrary choices.
Along the cruise, readers are exposed to life on several English navy ships are Patricia travels with Dalton and/or MacPherson to various Caribbean locales in changing circumstances. As she literally rides the staterooms by day and the yardarms by night, her life takes equally polar changes that can be sensually experienced by those wishing to join her on the page. Her final destination satisfies both her heart and her head.
A thoroughly enjoyable story.
Collison - Unmemorable but well-written.......2007-08-07
I bought this book on a whim simply because the cover of the book looked so entrancing and even the title caught me. Even though the pile of books I've yet to read was getting too high, I put this at the top and read it once I could.
Patricia Kelly is ther heroine of this story and it's told in her voice as she takes readers through the troubling strife of living as a woman in a man's world. As she struggles to make it to her father's Barbados manor by smuggling herself onto a ship, she meets an endearing doctor and a young and dashing sailor. But chance is not kind to the young and once she finds out she's no true place to go she takes the doctor's proposal and marries him for protection even though her heart already belongs to the young sailor. After the surprising death of her husband she hides herself in men's clothing and becomes a sailor on the seas until she meet back up with her true love in the end.
I could not like Patricia as much as other readers doubtedly had, I found her too picky by far despite her harsh living. I also was sad for her since she didn't like the doctor as well as she should have - he deserved more than her reticence and that set me against her even in the beginning. But the book entertained even if I lost interest once the doctor's untimely death occured and the writing was well done but it's not a book I would go back to and not one of my favorites.
Three stars for a mediocre book with a mediocre heroine.
It was a good book.......2007-07-31
I really liked this book it had sailing and romance and action...But there were some points in the story where i just did not feel like finishing the book. I felt like this would have been an even better novel if the author put more depth and speech into her characters and maybe a few more twists...something that we never thought would happen..because i felt that the story was very predictable...but i still enjoyed the book very much and encourage the people to read it...if you like historical fiction or the navy..or maybe even a quick romance novel.
Gritty realism, eighteenth-century history, and fast-paced adventure on the sea.......2007-07-25
Linda Collison's first novel "for young readers" is a historical tale that never underestimates the intelligence and the worldliness of her audience; set in the eighteenth century, the author conveys the excitement of sea life as seen through the eyes of its unique heroine, but still frankly depicts the saltiness and the seediness of the era.
In the course of her trans-Atlantic and Caribbean adventure, stowaway Patricia Kelley undergoes a virtual encyclopedia of what can go wrong for seafarers on a merchant vessel, a hospital ship, and a frigate: windless days, terrifying squalls, shipwreck, amputations, a yellow fever epidemic, warfare, piracy--even childbirth in desperate conditions. Also absorbing is the book's gritty social realism: the randy exploits of sailors in port, and the trollops who ply their trade; the social position of women (Patricia marries not for love, but from necessity); the desperate condition and appalling treatment of slaves; the ready availability of alcohol and the dangers of illicitly produced liquor.
The author's research informs some of my favorite portions of the book: the state of medical knowledge three centuries ago, the siege of Havana and Morro Castle, the childhood of Alexander Hamilton and the social opprobrium faced by his parents, and the rare but real occurrence of women who, disguised as men, found employment as sailors. Collison also infuses her work with the idiom of the trade, but she never strays from the story--although there are a few pages, particularly in the first quarter of the book, that may have especially young readers furtively flipping back to the book's glossary. ("Dalton made me stay in the ship's waist by the cannon while he went aft to the quarterdeck to check the mizzen rigging.")
Although the book's age-appropriate prose never whitewashes the era's horrors and squalor and vice, the overall tone is triumphant, and Patricia becomes accustomed to the limitations of her new life and gradually begins to enjoy its perks and its freedoms. The fast-paced opening and the subsequent series of unfortunate events are themselves compelling enough, but the heart of the book belongs to Collison's protagonist who, while initially immature and haughty, overcomes the odds and ultimately wins over the affections of her shipmates--and of her readers.
This book screams for a sequel! So great, I want MORE!.......2007-07-22
Although I don't generally read historical novels, this one intrigued me because I'd had some contact with the author whose background is so interesting I just HAD to read her first novel.
And Linda Collison doesn't disappoint! Her personal knowledge of boating and sailing shine throughout, as does her detailed research ... from her vivid descriptions of the seafaring life to the authentic jargon of seafaring people of those days. These characters and settings came alive for me; I felt Patricia Kelley's pain, her fear, her yearning ... admired her bravery.
STAR-CROSSED is a fascinating story of a young, eighteenth century, proper British schoolgirl whose father dies, leaving her in dire circumstances. Her father promised her a plantation in Barbados, but how is she to get there ... with no one to help? What is a poor, helpless girl to do?
Helpless? Well, this bold, inventive young woman proves to be anything but helpless. Wise-beyond-her-years, Patricia uses her wits to get aboard a ship sailing for Barbados. It's a daring escapade as she sets sail on the greatest adventure of her life.
You'll have to read the book to see how truly inventive our heroine is ... to learn of her relationship with bosun's mate Brian Dalton and other fascinating characters. Can a proper British lady find love and happiness with a bosun's mate? With a ship's surgeon? Could this be the meaning of Star-Crossed in the book's title?
Does our heroine ever regain her rightful estate? Or is her destiny, her happiness elsewhere? Well, you'll have to RFY (read for yourself) to find out. I promise you an exciting reading adventure with many unexpected twists and turns.
Bravo, Ms. Collison. This is a brilliant debut novel, as bold and full of passion as your memorable heroine. I hope you write a sequel; I want to know more of Patricia and Brian. (My hat's off to the cover designer, also. It's not only aesthetic, it's very creative and colorful.) - Betty Dravis, August 2007

HIGH QUALITY CONTENT, POOR QUALITY PRODUCTION.......2003-10-21
LIKE SO MANY OF THE OTHER REVIEWS, THE QUALITY OF THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK IS SUPERB; HOWEVER, AFTER REVIEWING 17 COPIES FROM VARIOUS SOURCES, I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE PHYSICAL PRODUCTION IS ONE OF THE POOREST I HAVE EVER SEEN. FOLDED AND CREASED PAGES PROIR TO THE PRINTING AND SMEARED PRINTING INK ON NUMEROUS PAGES LOWER THE QUALITY AND VALUE OF THIS BOOK. FOR THOSE WISHING TO COLLECT THIS SERIES: BLACK CROSS/RED STAR, VOLUME II WAS A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT COMPARED TO VOLUME I.
IF A CLEAN COPY OF VOLUME II DOES EXIST , I WOULD BE MOST INTERESTED IN PURCHASING IT, SO AS TO ADD IT TO MY COLLECTION OF VOLUME I.
THIS SERIES IS AN AMAZING WORK OF LITURATURE, AND HOPEFULLY, PRODUCTION OF THE REMANINING VOLUMES WILL NOT ENCOUNTER SUCH POOR WORKMANSHIP.
HANK PUSICH, hank_pusich2000@yahoo.com
En excellent book!.......2002-03-08
The second part in the Black Cross/Red Star series focus on the air war between january - june 1942, perhaps the least know phase of the entire air war on the eastern front.
Knowledge of the air war on the eastern front has always been scarce in the west, and has mostly been influenced by the german point of view. This is a unfortunate result of the cold war, when access to soviet sources was almost nonexistant. But the cold war is over, and the soviet archives are slowly being opened for western scholars.
This book is full of interesting information about the equipment, aircraft, tactics and pilot training of the Luftwaffe and the V-VS (Voyenno-Vozdushnye Sily, Soviet Military Airforce. The included glossary is excellent!), not to mention the excellent photos and aircraft profiles.
Among the interesting information in this book are accounts of the V-VS and Luftwaffe activity during the soviet winter offensive, the airlifts at Kholm and Demyansk (with some very interesting observations the german leadership ought to have studied closer), the soviet attempt to resupply the trapped Second Assault Army at Lyuban and the air campain against Sevastopol.
The authors tries to give an impartial account on the events from the views of both sides, and I think they accomplish this task well. Few books on the war on the eastern front are so unbiased, and I have read many.
For the student of the air war in the east this book is necessary, as air, as bread.
Couldn't be better.......2002-02-19
Looking at BC/RS as a series, the overwhelming weight of reviewers rate it 5-stars. I heartily agree. The authors are gifted, analyzing the multiple factors relevant to combat and battle outcomes, then expressing their findings in an easily readable way.
The text is authoritative. To see where they got such a boggling mix of information, check the back of the book: their "Sources" fill more than 4 pages. Their approach is even-handed, it relies on facts to give an unvarnished view of true history.
Events are organized by Eastern Front combat zones with the focus on how air battles affected the outcome of major battles. As with Volume 1, the authors continue to illuminate new material and go on to dig into reasons why. A prime example is their thought-provoking chapter on the Demyansk pocket airlift.
Throughout the text, outstanding pilots of both sides get recognition for their exploits and often enough the worthy but lesser knowns also get their due.
In one respect, volume 2 improves on its predecessor -- illustrations. Photos are better. Also, fresh, hi-quality profile art of representative aircraft is abundant. Captions often add interesting detail.
A brief review can not capture all the strengths of this work which breaks new ground and does it so well. I've tried to avoid being redundant with other reviewers and recommend that interested buyers also check into other comments, including those for Volume 1.

Another wonderful volume!.......2001-11-28
I originally ordered this book in August, but delays in shipping prevented it from arriving in my hands until recently. Let me say that the wait is all the more frustrating because this is a wonderful book!
Volume 2 of Black Cross / Red Star retains the written quality of Christer Bergstrom and Andrey Mikhailov, but adds aviation color profiles done by such notables as Claes Sundin and Tom Tullis. Those in the aviation community are familiar with their excellent work.
When I reviewed Volume 1, I made comments about the quality of the maps and photos. The authors and publisher listened to reader feedback and made the necessary corrections. The maps are outstanding! No blurring and all place names are readable. This greatly assists the reader when following the myriad of battles on the Eastern Front.
The strength of Black Cross / Red Star has always been the team of Bergstrom and Mikhailov. They intermix dates, times, persons and events with first-person accounts by all protagonists. Using this formula, the numbers and facts are given a human face. Joy, triumph, sorrow and pain all lie beneath all military statistics. For every victor there is a defeated foe. The reader learns about them in their own words from diaries and interviews.
Every day, surviving veterans pass on. Books like Black Cross / Red Star will soon be the only resource by which they will be remembered.
I highly recommend this book to anyone with even a sprinkling of interest in historical aviation.

Ugliest Projects.......2005-12-02
Although I found the instructions OK, I have never seen a book with such ugly projects, especially when there are some very nice pictures in the gallery that do not look too difficult. Every since the Carol Wilcox Wells books have come out, the bar has risen. Authors be aware!
experience helpful.......2005-08-06
I like this book a lot and refer to it often; for the first time I was able with its instruction to achieve the 3-row start. However some of the illustrations didn't match the instructions and the more complex drawings took some concentrated study to figure out. I've been off-loom weaving for a couple of years now using different methods, and would hate to be a beginner trying to use this book. The projects are pretty limited too, so a lot of your own creativity is required to apply the method to your own projects. Still, it's the most information I've ever seen on this stitch, which is quickly becoming my favorite.
I must agree..............2003-11-18
this book is not worth purchasing for more than $2. The projects are boring and the gallery is small. I would also have liked to see some of the gallery pieces matched with a technique in a project.
Bright colors with little beads.......2003-04-09
Vicki and her friend Stephney Hornblow visited and beaded with Ndebele masters. Another friend, Evelyn Cohen, shared her photographs for the book, making the first chapter a blast of color and design. Now inspired, you learn about supplies and herringbone techniques. These are followed by fairly complex, but well-explained, projects. The gallery at the book's end consists of 22 pages of projects made by obviously very advanced bead artists -- WOW! -- fodder for your bead brain to ponder.
Too little...of everything!.......2002-12-04
This is typical "white middle class woman" beading!
The history and research is glossed over with a few pages and a map. Shame on the folks at Beadwork for putting their name on this book! Ndebele, not the anglicized "herringbone" stitch!
The how too drawings are not clear. Take a page out of Carol Wilcox Wells, madam! If you are going to do instructional work, be clear to the audience. The sketches are decent, but you can not be sure where the thread goes when you start doing more advanced work in ndebele.
The most disappointing aspect of this book?
The projects are horrible and the gallery is full of lovely examples that would be much better practice and more rewarding!
The gallery is too large and segmented. Why not, again, take a page out of Carol Wilcox Wells' book and pepper gallery with projects, projects that are desirable!
The ndebele "kalaidascope" is merely a tube, and the "vessels" are just tulip shaped vases.
I would save your money on this one, find a nice example of of "how to" in Virginia Blakelock's "Those Bad Bad Beads" then pick up a copy of Jean Morris and Eleanor Preston-Whyte's "Speaking with Beads: Zulu Arts from Southern Africa."
The stitch itself is not complex at all, but this book makes tinkerbell items that are rather ugly by comparison to the potential that is there.
I was soundly disappointed when I got this book. I think Beadwork/Taunten press rushes to print these books because they have an instant market, but this book founders badly on the shores of craft book.
Buy the two books mentioned above, you will be much better served!
