This book got me hooked. I immediately bought the 5 book set the Author has put out on Amazon and it’s worth every penny. This isn’t a work of epic sci-fi, so don’t go in expecting that. It’s a really entertaining read with interesting characters that you want to learn more about. I promise you won’t be disappointed and you will want to grab the next book in the series.
A greatly entertaining sci-fi yarn. Enjoyed it.
Good read.
Author takes normal working people that live in the future and weaves a tail of adventure without injecting any (pink alien creatures), just real humans.
Great sci-fi. Very entertaining.
will read more of series
A good space opera. The kind of book to enjoy on a cold winter day.
This whole series is just great…. Really hard to stop reading and go to bed….
good book to read
Good sci fi leans toward younger readers but good for the adult not pushed to “adult” themes.
Fun to read scifi that has a good story line. Probably read the next one.
good book. the build up was enjoyable. stretched the realism a bit but I still liked it. looking forward to more in the series. already checking out some others to get.
veery good read
Well written, fun to read….great series
This could be a young adult sci- find. O however enjoys the book. The story line moved along at a good pace and it was never boring. I never wanted to skip to the end.
I’m reading the whole series now…. I can’t put these books down!
Great read
This book remins me in many ways of Robert Heinlein’s great juveniles novels such as Starman Jones, Rocketship Galileo, or Space Cadet. A young man and his friends foil an attempted pirate attack on their home in the asteroid belt, and wind up with a spaceship. Lots of fun, not real serious, but a good read, especially for young readers.
A tribute back to the pulp-sci-fi days, easy and entertaining read.
Smashing, simple, entertaining, fodder for the Sci-Fi reader; worth every minute.
