Randolph Lalonde liked Anne Whitaker's review of Samurai Squadron III: Spinward Fringe Broadcast 20: "Awesome book This book was awesome. I got super into it. I ended up waking up two nights in a row with thoughts from the story in my brain where I couldn't tell reality from fiction foe a moment. It was pretty cool."
