Review by: Dennis McKim on July 31, 2011 :
I have read all three of the books in this trilogy, and I recommend them highly to anyone with an interest in Science Fiction. The plot is well-developed in each book and is well-connected from book to book. The author expresses himself well and it is obvious that he did careful research into the scientific "background" for his fiction.
I truly believe these three stories could be the basis for an engaging made-for-television movie or miniseries.
Kudos to Mr. Schrader for a job well-done ... times three.
