Lorna: Leviathan Hardcover – January 1, 2000

While exploring Arasott in the fourth Constellation Lorna's spacecraft and robots are mysteriously whispered away to parts unknown. To find them Lorna has to travel toAguatdat, where she meets Ishmael and Bookhead and get very acquainted.To passage on the Pequod, she has to resort to the oldest trick in the book. While exploring the Pequod she finds her robot friends, but it is not that simple to find away off the vessel.The captain is on a mission to hunt the Dikmonks, and the biggest of them, the Leviathan especially. In his quest to kill one he ends up in the Leviathan's domaininstead, and Lorna and her robots escapes in an escape-pod. In the end when all is said and done, the planet went on as it has for million of years.Join the sexiest woman in space whether she is in clothes or not (mostly not), on her quests to places unknown and the untimely humping she has to endure to get the jobdone.From the annals of an excellent artist and storyteller comes a tale of a woman who is afraid of nothing or no one. This tale should be next to the other Lorna books inyour collection, and you will not be disappointed by doing so.

The drawing is very stylized, and very static: even the action scenes look like still lifes. If Heavy Metal did an animated version of this, it would work much better, since the motion would give life to the heavy draftsmanship. So, -1 star for the heavily over-stylized impressionist drawing. But at least it is all in color...The original novel which I had to read in high school was deadly dull: at least you can't say that about this! Too bad Azpiri had to rip off one of Melville's less interesting stories: think of what he could have done with Typee instead! So, -1 star for the lack of creativity shown by ripping off someone else's story, and making a poor choice of it at that...5 stars on all other aspects tho', so you end up with my net rating of 3 stars. I could have given it a 4th star, except that the characters seem to be going thru the story with their eyes closed [literally]: I guess Azpiri hates drawing pupils, or maybe just loves doing eyelashes?

great addition to my collection, condition was as advertised

Granted, I am an Azpiri fan and I would suggest that you know Lorna's character before reading this epic but it is not necessary to appreciate this tale. Lorna is a space-age privateer/bounty hunter who uses everything in her arsenal, especially her body, to get what every rogue space adventurer needs: money. Wiling her way onto the boat of the infamous Captain Ahab, she gets more than she bargained for when she is whisked away on a journey, the Captain's journey, after a sea-creature that threatens to send them all to their doom.For more Lorna or to get more "depth" on her character purchase  Lorna Mouse Club  and  Lorna: The Ark
