This hard sci-fi novel is the seventh book in the Stasis Stories series of optimistic tales of technological innovation in the near future. This one is about Kaem Seba’s daughter, Zaii, a young woman who, like her father, has extraordinary math talents.

Eager to do her part in the war against the aliens from Epsilon Eridani, she becomes a Space Force ROTC cadet. Soon after that, she’s proving to be a superb young officer. However, as she studies potential warfighting strategies that might be used against the Eridanis, she realizes that the defenders of Sol system have a problem.

The humans won the first battle against the Eridanis by using the technical advantage afforded by the invulnerability of stasis. But the Eridanis jump and biowarfare technology could easily allow them to wipe out the human race on Earth and thus win the war.

Offered the opportunity, she sets out to study the wreckage of the Eridani ships from the first battle. She hopes to figure out how jump works, thus appropriating that technology for human use and evening the playing field. Can she figure this out in time to keep the Eridanis from exterminating homo sapiens? It turns out to be a lot harder than she’d hoped and to require help from someone she tries to avoid asking.

bad writer, no cookie

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2021

Most of this is fine. I mean, the MC (2Lt Vera) is incredibly OverPowered, to an almost super-human extent, removing a lot of conflict and drama. But the narrative flows pretty well and most of the challenges don’t push her physical abilities, so it’s not difficult to look past.

BUT.

In chapter 5, BGEN Asic sends a video message to 2LT Vera and essentially criticizes decisions of the general’s superior. Huge no-no. Entirely unprofessional and should directly result in Asic’s removal from service via court martial. ‘Prejudicial to good order and discipline’ is the charge.

Is Asic correct? Yes. Should she have that conversation with a junior officer? Absolutely NOT. To actually record those words? Moronic.

I know some people will disagree and think I am being too particular in a science fiction novel. But I feel if you set things in a near future, then certain things need to fit. Military services have rules for conduct that shouldn’t be idly thrown aside.

I’m going to continue reading.

Later: a more correct senior-subordinate relationship appears later, though the general needs to be a bit more pointed and cold.

The problem I had in chapter 5 still is bothersome. A senior officer simply cannot even obliquely criticize other officers in front of such a junior officer. General Ramirez may *be* wrong, but it should not be stated as such by another general to a boot lieutenant.

I’m still probably going to buy the next book/series Mr Dahners releases. One of the best *hard* SF writers around.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2022

The Mistress of Space-Time is the seventh book in The Stasis Stories series by Laurence Dahners.

I'm sad it's over! *long wail into the abyss* This has been an exhilarating journey. Starting from Kaem inventing Stade, to facing roadblocks in making it open for all humans to utilize, to fighting a war against an alien invader. Dahners achieved so many of my subconscious checkmarks for literature. Within Sci-Fi humanity is usually, and rightfully so, depicted as the aggressor going to extremes in their pursuit of malicious intentions. I appreciate that we, even fictionally, weren't prepresented in that manner at least once.

Zaii Vera was a character I knew I would adore from the moment she saved Shelle. Her command presence and unparalleled ingenuity were going to ferry her to great heights. That she was both capable of standing up for herself, and other women, without being depicted as a bitch is simply icing on the cake. There were numerous similarities between her and Seba, to the betterment of the story itself.

If there was a spin-off series, I would read it immediately. This world was enlightening, and enjoyable to peruse. For the human race to advance so much, win against our basest natures, and manage to Unite as a whole is unbelievable. I'm thankful that Laurence Dahners could bring this future to fruition, even if it's very unlikely to occur realistically.

Refreshing

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2021

Sad to some degree but this book is very refreshing. Many of the characters we’ve come to know and love throughout the series don’t make an appearance but that is to be expected because time has simply progressed they simply are the main characters anymore. We get to experience learning and understanding new characters and their motivations and the mechanisms behind their behavior. The story overall is great it’s what we’ve all come to expect a main character who has stellar capabilities and you get to see them employed on a regular basis. Aside cast of characters who help flush out the story and well more that you’ll love but I don’t want to spoil anything.

No complaints about this book whatsoever. I do have a question for the author we would love to see some more books in your other series. Hypos Family, Bone Setter, Stasis, and El are some of the ones I live. This new series well it’s not new anymore knocked me off my feet but still want to see some of those old series finished out. They had great characters I’d love to get back to explore more of that universe as well. Keep up the good work love the books.

Bad ase of Superman Syndrome (Super Woman in this case)

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

The first novels had a somewhat weak Superman inventing a world changing technology and then using his over powered brain to save the day with a series of crises. This novel almost suggests to me the author is tired of this franchise and wants to move on. Our former protagonist's daughter is unusually strong, coordinated, and trained to a competitive level with well trained marines. She also has a super hypertrophied brain. She simply waves her magic mind and saves the day, repeatedly, with no lacunae to her knowledge beyond being a wretched date for men who do not meet her standards. She thinks many steps ahead of her commanding officer basically taking over command as a 2nd lieutenant of a spaceship from its legitimate commanding officer she mentally leaves in the dust. She doesn't even have the grace to be allergic to kryptonite.

I don't really see how he could recapture suspension of disbelief or sense of fun in any book 8.

Wonderful

I was slightly underwhelmed by the previous issue in this series but I now see it set the foundation for this brilliant story. With the focus returning to essentially one key person the story development benefits and everything flows from there. As for the character Zaii Vera…she is right there with the best of Laurence Dahners’ creations and this one compares with some of the best Ell stories.

I did found the first few chapters a little slow but these were necessary scene-setting. Thereafter, it became hard to stop reading.

As always in a Dahners book, interesting new ‘what if’ scenarios were explored.

Thoroughly recommended.

Supergirl saves the solar system

This long into a series Dahners runs out.
Superdad is still a genius but super daughter has surpassed him. But it's all good. Super girl makes things happen and fights the aliens and wins almost single handedly.
I like how Dahners takes these ideas and does a good job of testing out the implications.
I don't believe that people care that much about age or race or tenure.
Last one in this series I would read.

Great read, the series impressed me.

I love the scientific ideas. I did think that they might have attributed the jump breakthrough to Ms. Y, Mr. X’s daughter in the interest of sexual equality.

Fast paced action with astoundingly well written sequences. Main character is way over powered but that's what I love. Another winner from Dahners

Enjoyed the development of the technology arising from Staze. There is a number of separate character lines to keep track of but enjoyed it.

Again with the indecipherable science. Apart from that it rattles along with a good narrative. Keeps you interested till the end.
