Reviews

"The depths of outer space test the strength of a dynamic heroine’s inner resolve in Stroud’s smart, introspective space opera set in the year 2118. [...] With an attention to detail that will please hard science fiction fans, Stroud raises fascinating questions about the politics of space exploration. This is one to be savored."

Rigorous hard SF with a powerful but flawed protagonist and a fascinating historical background, 'Fearless' is a treat for just about any Analog reader."

Analog Science Fiction & Fact

“Fast-paced, gripping hard SF with death in hard vacuum waiting at every turn.”

"Gripping, intense, military SF. Stunning and urgent."
