Amazon Reviewer —
"More than anything, I loved the use of language and imagery. My wife was getting annoyed with me as I kept interrupting her with, "Oh, you've got to hear this part!" The metaphors are unique and, unlike too many authors, aren't repetitive.
The characters seem to have depth and personality from the very beginning. Their dialog sounds natural and isn't stilted or boring. Martin, the hero, is the sure to become one of those characters that the readers won't let die (like Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt). His natural bravado and regretted past make him one of those characters you just fall in love with. His ever present partner, Angel, is rather unique herself and leaves you wondering, "what next?"
The setting starts out on Earth in the 2200's with Electric Mustang's, Starbucks, and Interstellar Hyperspace Travel. Phillips takes some realistic views of a future with continued growth, advancement in medicine, and hiking gear every outdoorsman wishes they had.
The plot is well refined, with no loose ends or obvious faults. It stays exciting from start to end and is well worth the read."
