Description
"[A] rousing. . . far-future tale, taking hard-drinking former Rim Confederacy Navy Capt. Jared Clement of the gunship Beauregard into a whopper of a galactic confrontation. . . . [with] Clement's rebirth as an idealistic military commander, leading to breathless Horatio Hornblower-type ship-to-ship action updated into a Star Trek-like environment. . . [with] plenty of fun, derring-do, and even some tension-relieving fraternization will keep readers invested in Clement and crew. This is an entertaining escape from the here and now."--Publishers Weekly About Dave Bara:
". . . fun, fast, and proper science fiction, where the stakes are big and things matter."--New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green on Dave Bara's Lightship Chronicles Series "A true talent in the genre, Bara brings a scope of imagination to his worlds, building them brick by brick in your mind and populating them with stalwart characters, men and women of action rather than words... If far-flung space opera is what you seek, Bara is the author for you."--Rick Partlow, bestselling author of the Drop Troopers series "This energetic mélange of tried-and-true elements--futuristic jargon, military and romantic tactics, and multiple levels of skullduggery--easily grabs the reader's attention; more impressive is that Bara's story holds that attention all the way to the end." --Publishers Weekly on The Lightship Chronicles Series "Bara manages to ramp up the depth and complexity of his world while retaining that sense of excitement, suspense, and adventure." --Barnes & Noble Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog
