Reviews for Sam Gunn Jr. (#3 Sam Gunn)

Sam Gunn Jr. is a romp, a lovingly written, entertaining gem of an SF novel that takes the old ideals of a capitalist Space Race culture, builds them big, and then builds them bigger. -- SFFWorld.com A riveting ride through the early years of interplanetary settlement, full of surprises and impossible to put down. Loved it. -- Jack McDevitt, award-winning science fiction author
