Verdant Skies has scored another
positive review... this one on Papyrus. The reviewer seems to have twigged to the fact that I created a story that is tailor-made for the big screen:

I can probably sum up this novel thusly: potential script for pilot/two part movie introducing a new sci-fi television series part “Babylon 5″ and part “Star Trek”. Really. There are a cast of characters all developed in an introductory way as if we’re going to be joining them for a whole season and a two part action thriller that serves as a precursor for the actual series which would probably be named “Verdant Pioneers”, also the title of the sequel... Throw in a couple of daughters, wives, a couple of combat pilots and sundries and you have every space opera television series ever made. But that’s not to say that all I could murmur was “derivative” as I read. Not at all. To me, this was a refinement in ways on what already works well in this arena and it really was a very enjoyable and exciting read overall.

Wondering what might constitute "every space opera series ever made"? Then check out
Verdant Skies... then read the sequel Verdant Pioneers.
