Review
"Action-packed and thoroughly engrossing, this novel offers readers a classic sci-fi, space-travel adventure at its best....Tightly controlled pacing regularly ups the tension but never at the expense of the emotionally wrought human relationships....Fans of hard science fiction with a smart, slightly gooey, heartfelt center will happily travel across the universe with these characters and anxiously await expected sequels."
