"I loved how it explored the idea of a first flight with faster than light technology in a very believable way. The orbital mechanics and other scientific references are used correctly, but not in a textbook fashion. I got a very believable feel of this fictional world but was not hit over the head with an exposition of technical details."
—Glenn R. Frank, sci-fi author & contributor to Nine Streams of Consciousness: The Anthology of Humanity's Second Chance.
“A fun ride into the origins of FTL. Read it at least a year ago and it still sticks with me.”
— Conrad Altmann, author of Metanoeia and Moral Laundry.
“An action-packed, pulse-pounding novella that had me completely hooked.”
— Goodreads Reviewer.
“You are led through mankind’s first attempt to travel faster-than-light, and it deftly blends science technology, various political fronts, and humour into a fabulous little book.”
— Barry Ryerson, author of The Magic Circle.
