TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT, SOMETIMES YOU’VE GOT TO BREAK THE LAW
GROUND CONTROL TO MAJOR THOMAS IS A STANDALONE NOVEL SET WITHIN THE FOUNDRY UNIVERSE
“Insightful, original, adventurous! The writing flows smoothly, and the story progresses at an enjoyable pace. The characters have depth, making the reader genuinely care about the outcome. The situations are excellently conceived—detailed and believable: piracy & trading future antiquities, global politics, a dialogue on America’s heyday, the commercialization and colonization of space, billionaires, cowboys, shoot-em-ups, and even a car drifting in deep space. What’s not to love? I’ve enjoyed the works of Harry Harrison, Douglas Adams, Arthur C. Clarke, Weir, Howey and many others —covering the breadth of science fiction. There are elements within this book that tip a hat to those authors. This novel is smart, fun, and engaging—broadly appealing without being simplistic. As with all great stories, its well-drawn characters drive the narrative against a vividly described, meticulously crafted, backdrop. The author is clearly a fan of the genre, but not derivative of it! Enjoy!” - Lee C.
“Absolutely wonderful companion book to The Foundry series... It can be read stand alone or alongside.” - Suzanne M.
