5 Stars
There is no pause to accomplish "suspension of disbelief" in any of Daniel Gibbs' superb Science Fiction. Immediately the reader is absorbed into the story, as if we observe, not on a page or on a screen, but as the proverbial "fly on the wall," and even as a "I'm right there, I can almost reach out and touch" participant. From explosive reader's hooks through to taut conclusions, we revel in adventure, science, military strategy, and tactics. The characters will variously wring our emotions, warm our hearts, or in some cases infuriate and anger us. Whichever their effect, we "live" their stories vicariously and in the end, we are better individuals for doing so.
