Customer Reviews

An interesting read with some thought provoking ideas.

Michael Gear shows some thought provoking ideas of alien thought processes while slapping us in the face about how we use stereotypes. As a average sci-fi reader this book gives some interesting twists in the plot while keeping your attention and does a good job of showing how hard it should be to understand a completely different way of thinking.

Tag-lines add an aroura of color to Starstrike.

Michael Gear does a masterful job of transporting his readers above and beyond the earthly. Not only does the plot, pacing, and theme hold the reader's attention, but the writing is artful. As a aspiring (or maybe I should say perspiring) writer, I know how difficult it is to craft tag-lines that color the background and enhance the action. Mr. Gear has refined this ability to a level of science. I look forward reading more from this talented author and using his work as a framework for improving my own.
