Reviews

Disclaimer: Robert is a former colleague.
I really enjoyed Trajectory Book 1, but it left me hanging even more than the average cliffhanger.
With the release of Book 2, I can recommend the pair to anyone. This is excellent hard sci-fi, where the laws of physics are nearly a character. Great characters, great suspense, a quick and enjoyable read.
The first two books form a complete story, but I’m sure not the last from this universe. I’m looking forward to more. – A. Milewski, June 12, 2016 *****
