Editorial Reviews

Space Opera at its very best! Move over Star Wars, because here is a novella done in the classic space opera style of the Golden Age of Science Fiction. This story has BEMS (Bug-Eyed Monsters), the bum, and the beautiful babe! Action-packed, full of adventure, non-stop danger and with the whole of Earth's future hanging in the balance (not to mention the hero and the heroine's). You'll love every chapter of this fun, exciting, and original story! I give this five stars and it really deserves it!
