I love this series. Mr. Brown is a very good writer and I’m not. Lol. I’m not very good at writing reviews so I’ll make this brief. I have read all the series except the ones concerning the plague that started the whole thing. I eagerly download the books almost as soon as they’re released and enjoy them tremendously. I have resisted until now the urge to say anything about this because these stories exudes quality in such abundance that I hate to say anything that seems like nit-picking, but I wanted Mr. Brown to know that using the word “wonder” is good in that a person wonders about something, but to spell “wander” as “wonder” doesn’t work to say that a person or a ship “wonders around the galaxy. The person or ship “wanders” around the galaxy. I hope that I haven’t insulted anyone’s intelligence here.
Way back in part one where the Aurora was in a battle where light minutes and such were used to describe seeing an enemy ship was light minutes ahead of them and so on, I questioned the math. It didn’t seem to be possible because of the speed of light being what it is. I don’t know enough about that sort of thing; put it this way: I know just enough to know when something doesn’t sound believable, so I let it go as in movies or books, anything is possible, especially science fiction. I just figured that in that world of fiction, the Aurora had the technology to make that sort of thing possible.
This idea is why I don’t read much hard science fiction. It’s also why I stopped reading much of Arthur C. Clarks books. He believed that the speed of light was absolute and wrote his fiction stories accordingly. If a space ship in his stories had a destination hundreds of light years away, the crew had to “long sleep” ‘til they got there or it was a generation ship where the descendants of the original crew settled the planet at their destination. These types of stories were always well written and entertaining but I grew tired of them because they seemed so limiting. I much prefer Mr. Brown’s type of stories where anything is possible and is made believable. The key to reading science fiction is the suspension of disbelief. They’re FUN to read. It makes a person wish such things were really possible.
On another topic, I love the original series and Next generation Star Trek, but the one thing I could never find myself disbelieving was their shields protected them from energy weapons but not projectile type weapons such as photon torpedoes as depicted. There were a number of other technologies as well, but the suspension of disbelief kicks in to cover them. Entertaining as all get out. Well, so much for being brief. Lol
