Dan Bell liked WILLIAM ROBINETTE's review of When The Light Dies (Nelson Newman: First Contact Trilogy #3): "Not the same old stuff I've been reading Sci-fi for 60 years. Much of it is repetitive, but this series is different. It keeps you wanting more until the end. I'm happy to recommend this series!"
