"I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an easy going science fiction read. It has a perfect blend of story line without the exhausting environment descriptions that some writers fall into." - Jason B "...an enjoyable read. It contains adventure, describes intriguing alien vistas and reveals a few surprises, while maintaining continuity with previous related (T-Space) works.
