Customer Reviews

Very good reading

Mr.Campbell has a way with words that is both remarkably transparent and deep. Black Jack may be one of my favorite characters ever created. There is great story mixed with powerful themes in all of these books. Speaking of that the books flow so well together that they could all be combined into one giant hard cover and you wouldn't be able to tell where one ended and the next started. I have laughed, wiped a tear from eye, as well as yelled out loud a few times while reading. His story telling puts you there on Dauntless, on the bridge and the dreaded conference room. I'm thrilled I stumbled upon this series and author.
