About the author

I have had a long career as a professor (28 years and counting), and I am at the podium still. I am also a lifelong fan of science fiction.

I plan to add new installments to my Voided Man series several times a year for the foreseeable future.

I was a little less in love with this volume. Brian's importance seemed to develop toward the end, but he seemed an odd main character choice in the beginning as he is not part of the family. He is growing on me, however.
I have a good feeling that the next installment will really pick up a lot of the missing pieces. Overall a very enjoyable read, but just not as riveting as the first three books.

Did not vibe with this story line, complete departure from the sci fi and main characters, just waiting for the main group to all come back

[Sami Köykkä · Rating 3 out of 5]

Jo edellisessä osassa alkanut tyylilajin muutos iski täysillä tässä kirjassa ja äkkiä oltiinkin jossain aivan muualla kuin mistä lähdettiin liikkeelle. Georgerrmartinmainen tyyli tuntuukin sopivan kirjailijalle paremmin joten kirja kyllä eteni oikein jouhevasti ja pitkä tarinan kaari pysyy kasassa. Mutta nähtävästi kirjasarjassa saa varautua kaikenlaiseen!

3.5*
Solid, but a deviation from main plot. Almost felt like 3.5 in the series. Could have easily added on to make this installment completer and more tied in.
