About the Author

Patrick Chiles has been fascinated by airplanes, rockets, and spaceflight ever since he was a little kid growing up in South Carolina. How he ended up as an English major in college is still a mystery, though he managed to overcome this self-inflicted handicap to pursue a career in aviation. He is a graduate of The Citadel, a Marine Corps veteran, and is licensed as a private pilot and airline dispatcher. In addition to his novels, he has written for aviation magazines including Smithsonian's Air & Space. He resides in Ohio as an expatriate Southerner with his wife and sons, two lethargic dachshunds, and a bovine cat.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Patrick Chiles began his writing career with the self-published novels PERIGEE and FARSIDE, which were acquired by Baen Books in 2016. His subsequent novels, 2020’s FROZEN ORBIT and 2021’s FRONTIER, have established him as a rising talent in the realm of realistic, near-future science fiction. Having a fascination with practical space travel and a love for Cold War technothrillers, his novels feature plausible technology while leveraging his military and airline experience to create stories with engaging, relatable characters on astonishing adventures: “Ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.”

Chiles graduated from The Citadel in 1986 and went on to serve in the Marine Corps until 1993. After a career in managing airline and business aviation operations, he now works as an aviation safety auditor when he is not writing novels. He currently resides in central Ohio with his wife and two lethargic dachshunds.

Islamophobia, Dead Hugo Chavez, and Those Horrid Environmentalists

Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a middling good story made almost unreadable by mean-spirited Islamophobia, evil Venezuelans, and some Very Bad environmentalists, all mixed in with a healthy dollop of Christo-Fascism. The book's overall premise isn't bad, and if you can skim over page after page of inane political beliefs, you'll at least be able to finish it.

Oh, can't forget: There were Iranians. Bad, bad, Iranians.

Hard Science, Not Too Distant Future, Action Packed Thriller in Space

Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

The read is a strong mix of hard science, action and suspense. The author's background in aviation and military service shine throughout the book and give it an authentic edge. The story takes place in the not too distant future and the story line contains the usual cast of bad guys. If you are looking for fleet actions, ground pounding, futuristic science fiction, this is not your cup of tea. If, however, you enjoy a crisp story, plenty of suspense mixed with page turning action presented against a hard science backdrop in a well edited format--this book does not disappoint.

Page turner for astrophysicist nerds!!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

This could and probably already is happening. Plotting was tight. Dialogue great! Not a wasted sentence. The hard science Patrick Chiles (math astrophysicist nerd) dug into in the plot reminds me of the way it was done in The Martian and this is that good. IT'S THAT GOOD! Mark my words -- this will get optioned and become a hit movie or Hollywood is dumb and I'm an idiot.

Idiot could be possible but probably not likely since I've had 12 #1 books myself (admittedly they are non-fiction health/preventive medicine books but hey, at least they ranked).

A very good solid read

Not your typical sci fi space opera. Well done, sadly plausible, and a lot of technical accuracy. Refreshing; I look forward to the next step in this saga.

Great book for all!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2015

This book is Sci-Fi, but it's actually more like a Tom Clancy novel. That is, even though the story isn't real, it could become reality in the not-too-distant future. The technology isn't quite there yet, but it's right around the corner.
I loved the plot and action, even more so than the first novel (Perigee). The characters are fantastic, I was happy to see some familiar faces. The action is non-stop (in space and on the ground) which makes it difficult to put down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves action, new technology, space travel, or anyone who just wants a good read!
