Description
"Corsair goes far beyond battle, survival tactics, and discovery (all of which are features in a strong plot with delightful blends of personality, tension, and unexpected twists and turns) to enter into realms of choice and consequence. The plot reveals how each character must grow beyond programming and purpose if they are to survive both individually and collectively." (Midwest Book Review) "Simultaneously brutal and beautiful." (Amazon Review) "You'll pick it up (and not be able to put it down) for the space opera/science fiction thrill ride. You'll think about it long after you've finished because of the questions about human nature, identity, and religion." (Goodreads Review) "Brimming with satisfying action, memorable characters and profound thematic depth, Corsair is easily one of the most exciting debut novels I've read." (Goodreads Review) "It moves at a propulsive pace, ramping up in intensity throughout and reaching for ambitious reveals that pay off impressively well by the book's concluding moments." (Goodreads Review)Under the blood-red skies of Calx, survival is a fleeting hope...Welcome to a world where the sun never rises, a planet torn between burning wastelands and frozen voids, where life clings to the thin Terminator strip, and death is an ever- present shadow.
