Missing Link Unabridged Start Publishing LLC eBook Frank Herbert
I am a real fan of Sci-Fi and of Frank Herbert. His book Dune is one of the great classics of Sci-Fi. This story is not up to his standards. Frankly it was like he was being paid to write a story of so many words for a magazine and he suddenly realized that he needed to finish so the story quickly and abruptly ends.The story starts off well like one of Andre Norton's space interplanetary exploration teams making first contact with a new race. The man assigned the task of making first contact knows the new race cannot be trusted and he knows that they have captured a space ship. Suddenly within a few questions he solves the puzzle of where the ship is and turns the tables on his captor. The story ends so quickly it makes you wonder why you wasted your time reading it. It is only about 30 minutes of reading time so if you have an interest in the book then go ahead and enjoy it. I am just glad that I didn't pay for the book.

Missing Link Unabridged Start Publishing LLC eBook Frank Herbert Reviews
One of Herbert's earliest works (1959 I believe), and is just a short story. Would be okay in an anthology of short stories, but not worth paying for by itself. Definitely reads like a 1950s short story, which isn't bad. I like short sci fi stories.
I don't think I would classify Missing Link as a short story, but it was good and held my interest throughout. Even though I thought it ended rather abruptly, the story left me intensely curious about what was going on outside the confines of the text. Die hard Frank Herbert fans will certainly appreciate it.
A short and entertaining story, that does not try to hard.
A fair sample of Herbert's accurate and conscientious scientific approach to science fiction writing. It has most of the elements that are common to his books, condensed in a very short, but enjoyable story.
Short, nice pace, good writing. Interesting deduction skills. Interesting approach. Nice, casual read on a lazy afternoon when you're in need of some sci-fi.
I didn't know what to expect when I downloaded this book but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The main character, Mr. Nicholas Crips really reminded me of Johnny Depp's "Jack Sparrow". Set in Australia and a traveling road show, Mr Crips is a transient that ends up as Professor Thunder's Missing Link-an indulgent hard-drinking half-man half-ape that gets into frequent trouble in the small townships that the road show visits. A quick fun read.
Short read of under an hour. Not a story that keeps you up on the edge of your seat with excitement. Light on the classic controversial topics that have become synonymous with great science fiction. The main character's encounter with alien life is more Gilligan's Island than Isaac Asimov. Sufficient to fill an hour, if you have one to spare.
Free edition seemed free of error and functioned without flawlessly.
While this story is no Dune, it still holds Herbert's masterful tone and command of the genre. "The Missing Link" presents a traditional scifi setup, reminiscent of Star Trek but with a contemporary military feel. The characters, far from generic, use their brief appearances to note distinct relationships with each other. The conflict is simple but not under-stated.
This story remains separate but tied to Herbert's famed saga through his expert use of language to tie deeper themes into a seemingly simple narrative.
Excellent read.
