Jerry Pournelle recommends
Border Crosser (2020)
Tom Doyle
"Tom Doyle has taken every Sci-Fi Channel and Coast to Coast radio show concept and incorporated them into a very entertaining novel. At first, I was startled to encounter so many themes, then I was drawn to admire the skills he used to weave them together, and then I just sat back and enjoyed the show. I also learned the truth about how Stonewall Jackson was killed. Great fun."
Two Serpents Rise (2013)
(Craft Sequence, book 2)
Max Gladstone
"Max Gladstone has created a fascinating universe and equally fascinating characters. This is his first novel. I can't wait for his second."
