The weakest of the novellas composing Logan: A trilogy, Logan's Search is essentially a reboot of Logan's Run and like most reboots, the worse for wear. There are differences, but not enough to justify a 3rd book. Taken by itstelf, it reminds one of average pulp fiction.

While I really enjoyed the first two books in this series, the third and final book felt very unnecessary. In some ways, a retread of the first story, Logan is mystifyingly abducted (by aliens!!!) and taken to a parallel world in which the system he helped bring down in Book 1 is still actively purging citizens once they reach 21. A lot of plot decisions feel overwrought and pretty unrelated in an effort to provide something for Logan to do and take him to different, exotic locations. Things wra...

Another action book this time ETs abduct him and send him to a parallel world where he has to destroy the AI and kill his friend for their amusement. Honestly pretty crap.

I can't believe all the negatively based reviews on this book. Science fiction utilizing the 2 most famous sci fi words that give it essence ... "What if?" Sent to a parallel world to relive what he already went through before and able to make changes where he could or try to. I read this book back when it first came out when my dad bought it I was only 9 and loved it. I have all 3 books and in their own way are unique to sci fi writing perfectly. No this is not written with George Clayton Johns...

The best thing about this book is the ending, the way its utter stupidity just rolls off you. Because, by then, you've long ago realized that Nolan had one fresh idea for this series, and that was thirteen years earlier.Ok, check it out: this time, Logan is abducted by aliens. Regrettably not Whitley Strieber's aliens who, had they rectally probed him, would have found Nolan's head.These aliens then proceed to transport Logan back in time to a parallel Earth, where Sandmen still pursue Runners.

The third book of Logan's Run features an alien abduction, parallel worlds, and other really cool sci-fi tropes. I enjoyed it. Was it great literature? No. Was it fun escapism for a few hours? Yes.

Not nearly as good as the first book, but still a good book.

Control of the afterlife13 December 2012 So the question that I and many others are probably asking is why did Nolan actually write this book. Based on the quick blurb that I read this book is basically a rehash of the first. It seems that all of the sudden there are parallel Earths and all of a sudden Logan is sent to another Earth where he has to start all over again. I guess that the difference here should be that Logan has the benefit of hindsight, but despite the fact that he is aware that

Very ordinary. I struggled to finish this book. The first of the series is imaginative and well paced, if not particularly well written. By this book, Nolan has run out of ideas and attempts a rehash of the first story, with extra aliens, alternate universes and telepathy. He shouldn't have bothered.

Much better than the Logan's World, still not so good to call the reading a pleasure. Not bad, sometimes rather interesting.

Continuing in the low tradition established in the previous book, this is simply one of the worst books ever written. Had there not been a movie based on the first book, I'm certain this book would never have seen publication. The plot is a string of ridiculous, over-used movie tropes, and the writing is almost non-existent. It's written as if even the author could barely sustain any interest in the story. Avoid this book!

This book is basically Logan Does Dallas. There is so much wrong with the book. Women are infantilized and sexualized to the point of ridiculousness. In three books, Jessica never gets past the "Oh, Logan," stage of character growth. She is raped, kidnapped, loses a child, enslaved, cheated on (pair-bonding means nothing apparently) and still has no spine and is unable to fight. Even in the world that Logan is sent to, she is essentially a sex puppet. The rest of the story is ridiculous and pred...

A slightly disappointing conclusion to a very good idea, it really concluded everything that was opened in book 2 (the real disappointment in this series). One of the good questions asked in this novel is is a person really free if there actions are in any way impeded; limited, socially or by any other force. How free are we any way?

WHAT THE F***?! Aliens??? SERIOUSLY??? No, just no.

Not near as good as the first, or even the second. But had to read for continuity. It was rushed, an afterthought, maybe a need for money that prompted this one. Terrible way to end a good set of of books. Nolan should have stopped at the first.

I don't understand why these books are out of print. All 3 are actually really good. The 3rd - Logan's Search is fascinating because it goes into a parallel Earth so several characters come back who originally died off in earlier books. It was a really good ending to the trilogy.

There is not a lot to these stores, but this was by far the worst of the three. This was an attempt to give the feel of the first story. It gets a young Logan and Jessica running in a world where people still need to sleep at 21. He doesn't do this so well. It involves aliens and alternate dimensions. At the end, the motivation of the aliens is never revealed, in fact, a revelation at the end further complicates the issue. There is a subplot about acquiring a gun that has absolutely no bearing o...

Nostalgia for the Logan's Run movie pushed me to read this book. The premise isn't quite as strong, but it does serve up a nice twist at the end.

The weakest of the three novels that started in my opinion. We move from a dated yet realistic ideal to aliens kidnapping and transplanting our hero in an alternate reality to fight for the future of that world as well. Of course there's a twist, but it's basically the same story, told from a slightly different perspective. Basically been there, done that. Logan is starting to achieve superhero status in this book ; while he can be hurt, he usually wins, sometimes by the arrival of the coinciden...

Spoilers below. I did not read this book as fast as the first two in the series. The third installment was much better than Logan's Search. It had an established main plot for the entire book, not several throughout the whole 145 pages like the second installment. My favorite part of the whole series is the romance aspect. Logan was transformed by Jessica and she is and always was his first thought and concern. No matter what state of mind or planet or Jessica it was, she was the constant that k...
