Reviews / Votes
If you liked Star Trek Into Darkness, you'll like Dave Bara's IMPULSE. -- Jack Campbell * author of the New York Times bestselling Lost Fleet series * Totally convincing space navy . . . check! Perfectly realized characters complete with depth and heroism . . . check! Plus a fascinating story with an Ahab of a captain determined to complete his mission, and a fledgling lieutenant who comes into his own in the midst of interstellar conflict. Oh yeah: exploding spaceships . . . double check! -- Tony Daniel * bestselling author of Guardian of Night * IMPULSE is fun, fast, and proper science fiction. Where the stakes are big, and things matter because the characters matter. I enjoyed the hell out of this. Impulse should be an impulse buy. -- Simon R. Green * bestselling author of the Deathstalker series * This first in the series promises some epic dust-ups -- John Wyatt * The Sun * Impulse shows what J. J. Abrams could have done with Into Darkness if he was less obsessed with flashy effects and more interested in substantial storytelling * Starburst * In short, Impulse is a winner for me. -- Rob H. Bedford * SFFWorld.com *More details
