Longest 149 page book ever. Rough sledding for sure.
Not as good as the first one but it was good see the characters again.
Book 2 of Logan: A Trilogy maintains the racing towards resolution of the original novel, but does not provide the sense of wonder or newness. It's a simple, exciting read and does not burden one's intellect. Still it is an exciting adventure.
This is the first sequel to "Logan's Run" the book. Fans of the movie who made it through the original book will probably continue on to this one, but stopping after the first book may be the best course of action. This is easily one of the worst books I've ever read. In fact, calling it a 'book' is probably too generous. It reads like a loose collection of notes. The author rarely even bothers to make any particular paragraph longer than two sentences. It's as if even he couldn't dwell on the m...
This book is a continuation of Logan's run. It was Fast paced and Filled in some details to the story line. If you enjoyed the movie or the book Logan's run you Will enjoy this book. I will tell you this it's hard to find audible has it.
The dark side of freedom19 November 2012 I sometimes wonder whether a sequel is written because the author has decided to make the first book a chapter in a larger story, but only holds back to see whether the first book is a success, or whether it is something that the author decides to do to cash in on the popularity of an earlier book. In all truth it sometimes is very easy to tell, but in other times it is not. However, one of the good things about some sequels is that it does tend to dispel...
I waffled between a three and four star rating for the second installation of the Logan trilogy- on the one hand, it's not quite as gripping and iconic as the original; on the other, it seems willing to get a little more weird and experimental than "Logan's Run" did, bringing in psychics, ritual blindness, past-reliving, the existential horror of the Talk Puppets, and a marauding gang styled after the Borgias. Could "Logan's World" stand on its own? Probably- its connection to the first novel is...
A decent sequel to Logan's Run. Makes you wonder, with all the chaos, if the world Logan was in before wasn't better.
There was a part of me that hoped that Logan’s Run was a potboiler for Nolan and that following its success as a movie he would use this sequel to take the opportunity to do the ideas he raised justice and take them beyond pulp fiction. However he either cannot or chose not to, Logan’s World has all the problems of the first book but without the refreshing novelty or orderly flow of the original. It really is a testament to the movies popularity that this got published. Highlights include - Loga...
Logan's World, as the prequel Logan's Run, gets a solid 3.5 from me. Please see my review on Logan's Run, and imagine the word DITTO on just about every thought. Finished this one in about two afternoons, and found it to be entertaining, though still much too brief and stilted to be an all-time favorite.Logan's World picks up a few years following Run, with trouble on the Sanctuary planet with the disruption of supplies from Earth. As surviving runners begin to die, eventually Logan, Jessica, an...
It took some searching but I was able to find really good copies of the follow-up books to the original 'Logan's Run.' The movie always left me believing that there were more stories to be told in this universe and the ending of the novel certainly left things open-ended enough as well. I appreciated that the sequel didn't begin immediately where the first story ended and the author wasn't afraid to take some risks with the characters. Some of the emotional impact of plot developments were a lit...
Better told than the original novel but even more contrived in its storytelling. Again, the brevity conspires to make it a more gripping tale than it deserves but it also makes it a less convincing story as characters exist to either help or hinder Logan on his quest, a quest which offers very little except novelty.
From my book blog www.JetBlackDragonfly.blogspot.comLogan's World is the follow-up to Logan's Run. Both were written by William F. Nolan, who also wrote some other memorable screenplays in the 70's such as Trilogy Of Terror and Burnt Offerings. And who can forget Karen Black running from a crazed Zuni fetish doll around her apartment?Logan's Run was written in 1967 and was made into a now a classic Sci-fi movie starring Michael York and Jenny Agutter. Logan's World was the first sequel published...
A fabulous sequel to "run" and prequel to "search" - a great sci fi trilogy!
After quite enjoying the first novel, and the movie based on it, I wasn't terribly enthraled by the sequel. The premise at the start seems so interesting! Such a departure with having Logan off on a space station! Instead the space station plot is very quickly wrapped up and Logan is back on Earth as if nothing changed. I wonder if perhaps this was intentional to be a sequel to the just released movie? We very quickly abandon what set the book apart from the film and place the story somewhere wh...
The sequel to "Logan's Run". Written by William F. Nolan who was the co-author of the original novel.It takes place ten years after the first novel. Jessica and Logan are forced to return to Earth. The cities have collapsed and with them what passes for civilization. What ensues is what another reviewer describes as being more of a pulp fiction/mens adventure novel instead of a thoughtful science fiction story. I agree. However I don't have a problem with that. It works. The story is simple. Log...
I thoroughly enjoyed this one, actually enjoyed it more than Logan's Run. William Nolan has a way of describing these nightmare events in such detail. Can't wait to read the third and final book to the series.
Disappointing2.5 stars actually. I was really looking forward to reading this sequel, but I had difficulty finding a copy.The basic story is that Logan3, Jessica6, and their son Jaq return to Earth after the Mars colony fails. There, they run into all kinds of problems, including an ex-sandman named Gant who wanted to re-start the problematic computer that once controlled all the cities.The good things about this book are that it explains some of the things in the first book, as it should For ex...
A little more consistent writing than the first, since this was a single author and not a collaboration. The technology was a little less outlandish. Using Mary-Mary 2 was pretty clever, and the vengeful Sandmen, while predictable, were still written well.The two women wanting to pair-mate with Logan right after Jessica's disappearance was kinda tactless, though.I will still never forget floppy haired Michael York, with ripped tunic and abs.....I may not read Logan's Search.
Another plot driven action narrative, where the heros from the previous book descend to earth after the destruction of the AI and need medicine for their child. Logan goes into town to get it where there are a bunch of chase scenes. Meanwhile bandits steal his wife and kill his child. The rest of the book is him searching for his wife.Only interesting part was where he pair bonded with some psychics, but it didn't get used in the rest of the book so was totally like pointless plot wise.
