Reads like old masters classic hard sci-fi with emotional depth. ????? I ll admit that book one scared me spitless. But I couldn t put it down. ????? Solid science, real people, strange situations, clever solutions, and unexpected twists. I will read more of this series. ????? Most innovative sci-fi author I ve read since the 50's old masters of sci-fi! ????? Reminded me of Doctor to the Stars because of the infection. ????? Believable characters and details, coupled with only modest suspensions of disbelief ... makes me eager for the unfolding story. ????? Fast and easy reading. Kind of like an Alien movie. ????? Good page turner. Fun and exciting without resorting to needless violence. ????? I haven t been so excited about sci-fi since I first read Heinlein. This is better! ????? Classic hard sci-fi without fluff. Reminded me of Clarke, Asimov, Bradbury. ????? Tony writes what I call real science fiction, like the old masters. ????? Exciting and nerve-wracking it had me enthralled throughout the entire book. ????? A fresh approach to aliens finally something different than the usual invasion trope.
