I see my other lives, a career in the Marines, those damn hand-written tests in law school, a business consultant, as if they're stories from a book. I see my books as if I lived there, as if I were friends with the characters. All things we remember are behind us, only those we imagine lie before.
I'm not sure which place I prefer, but I don't have to choose. They live together in my mind. My books have some award nominations, they have bestseller tags across multiple countries. I write about justice, honor, and loyalty because that's what I care about. My stories are mostly set within worlds that haven't been, but could be. We have to be ready for when those times come.
No matter where I went, I always had a book with me. Thanks to 21st Century technology, I now have hundreds of books loaded on my phone and always with me. This breakthrough allows me to binge read my favorites. How many books would I have read on deployments had I not had to have a physical book with me? I paced myself so I wouldn't finish too quickly.
We aren't encumbered like that now. I love the works of Robert Heinlein, Anne McCaffrey, JRR Tolkien, Robert E. Howard, and so many more. I have been compared to Andre Norton and that is humbling - she was an incredible author with a huge list of novels to her credit. With every new book, I aspire to live up to those that you, the readers, have compared me to.
Through a bizarre series of events, I ended up in Fairbanks, Alaska. I never expected to retire to a place where golf courses are only open for four months out of the year. But that's the way it is. It is off the beaten path. My wife and I get to watch the northern lights from our driveway. Our dog has lots of room to run. And temperatures reach fifty below zero. We have from three and a half hours of daylight in the winter to twenty-four hours in the summer.
It's all part of the give and take of life. If we didn't have those extremes, then everyone would live in the sub-arctic.

Starts slow, but loved it.
More so to be able to read all six in one setting. Great characters, interesting world building, well done battles. Lots of questions left unanswered, The biggest was an offhand comment by a character early in the story that the solar system they were in was not natural and had to be artificial. That struck me but it was never brought up again. Other than that a very satisfying story and conclusion.

Against all odds
Craig Martelle hooked me as soon as started reading this series! A most ridiculous premise turned out to be a superb, roller coaster adventure.
Full of wonderful people going through a massive amount of twists, turns, highs, lows, worry, joy, surprises, stress, relationship dramas and so much more.
Fantabulous series!

Great Space Adventure
This was an excellent read. A Mission with a purpose. Multidimensional on many levels. Got to know the main characters throughout the series. The action and tactics were very well thought out. A great and unexpected ending.
