Impulse

Praise for the Lightship Chronicles: If you liked Star Trek Into Darkness, you'll like Dave Bara's Impulse. --Jack Campbell, New York Times bestselling author of the Lost Fleet series This guy is the next Jack Campbell; it's that good. --T. C. McCarthy, author of the Subterrene War series In Starbound, Bara manages to ramp up the depth and complexity of his world while retaining that sense of excitement, suspense, and adventure. --Barnes & Noble Sci Fi & Fantasy Blog This energetic m�lange of tried-and-true elements--futuristic jargon, military and romantic tactics, and multiple levels of skullduggery--easily grabs the reader's attention; more impressive is that Bara's story holds that attention all the way to the end. --Publishers Weekly The crew themselves prove to be wonderfully diverse.... There's always a human quirk to their dialogue that makes them feel far more alive. Impulse shows what J. J. Abrams could have done with [Star Trek] Into Darkness. --Starburst Magazine Impulse is an exciting space opera that fans of Star Trek will enjoy.... With plenty of suspense, drama, unique technology, and romance -- this sci-fi adventure has it all. I thoroughly enjoyed this romp through deep space from relatable characters to the clever plot. --SciFiChick A fun and engaging story. The protagonist comes across as relatable and believable.... Impulse is a winner for me. --SFF World 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, national 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
