the following (brief!) review of Mit-Ro-Don will appear at Barnes & Nobles and Amazon in the next few days:

Board your Goldstream Fighter spacecraft, launch and deploy for combat! Join the Earth Task Force with your benevolent alien allies, the Mit-Ro-Don, and courageously defend the Earth from all but certain destruction at the hands of the evil Chit-Chit-Kunak!

Spires’ first science fiction novel is a big hit, a thoroughly engrossing read, at a very quick pace. Action on almost every page! A thrilling, highly creative tale of desperate space battles of gargantuan proportions.
And the good, hard science will appeal to many readers.

Spires personal aviation and military experience shows frequently, as we follow the day-to-day military adventures of Earth volunteer Jim DeLucca, in a manner reminiscent of Heinlein’s Starship Troopers (but without the fascism!).

The action is so fast and furious that one does wish at times that Spires had slowed down a bit to flesh out the characters, but this is but a minor criticism. All in all, an outstanding debut, and we eagerly await more, much more from Dan Spires!

I would also encourage others to post brief reviews of Dan's
splendid little debut novel!

Of course, the only way Dan can truly thank me, or anyone else, for writing a review is by...you guessed it...announcing the publication of his SECOND novel!
