Topic: William Dietz


  
  Dietz Family History
Dietz, in his research for The Dietz Family, found records in Schoharie evidencing that the family had its origins in Feldbach, Germany, but he was unable to locate the records in any of three towns named Feldbach or Villbel.
The Dietz family was one of thousands of refugee families who in the early 18th Century fled from the Palatine area of what is now Germany, which for almost a century had been devastated by wars and resulting famines.
Roscoe, in History of Schoharie, reports that on 7 Nov 1775 William Dietz was appointed a member of the second board of the Schoharie "Committee of Safety." This committee, chaired by Johannes Ball, had the responsibility for the safety and protection of the citizens of the Schoharie and Duanesburg district during the Revolutionary War.

Halo: The Flood, is a follow-up to William Dietz's first fictional novel Halo: The Fall of Reach, which took readers into pre-covenant times and steadily lead up to the current war.
I really enjoyed this book because of its intense connection to Halo the game, and I do think that William Dietz is a generally talented author who has the ability to put the reader right in the action.
I only had minor discrepancies with the book and that was mostly about poor editing; the occasional confusion of character identities, and one spot where a Covenant soldier is blown off a cliff, yet the human killer is still able to stomp on his head...

 Amazon.com: Death Day: Books: William C. Dietz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-22)
Bestselling military SF author Dietz (By Blood Alone; By Force of Arms; etc.) requires just the first six lines to destroy every major city on Earth in this overheated opener of a near-future alien-invasion epic, which reads much like an inferior clone of L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth.
Dietz however seems to think that he can put some garbage together, publish the book and we will "need" to see how it comes out.
Dietz did do a good job with the action sequences, but there were not enough of them.

Dietz expertly jumps from one theater of combat to another, one side to another, to show the opponents planning but then improvising as plans go awry.
