Description

Space Adventure.In the far future, humanity has populated the galaxy. While prospecting in the outer reaches of a solar system, three friends find something they didn't expect in the cold dark. Something smashed flat in an asteroid cluster, waiting there for three-billion years. The universe started in a Big Bang and may now end in a Big Poof. The trio has their own itches to scratch using the money from selling their find. Who cares? After all, they’re not heroes.Heat and Light is Science Fiction story with plausible future science and technology as a backdrop. Artificial intelligence, aliens, other dimensions, and a one-time bit of time travel.EXCERPT: "I would sit in the open airlock. Just sit on the deck, my legs hanging over the edge, gathering it all in—wanting to drink it, breathe it, float in it. Be alone with it. It was a longing to belong. Belong to the biggest thing that ever was, or ever will be. Be a part of the cold dark." SandyFROM THE BACK COVER There was a fly in the thermodynamic soup we call the universe. A small problem that would end everything; you, me, stars, galaxies, time. While working the problem, I became ruler of the universe, king of the hill, a prisoner of my own power, a result of my actions, cause and effect. No good deed goes unpunished. I really just want to be ten years old again. No worries. No authority. No responsibilities. Recycle my life. They tell me they can make that happen, but they don't recommend it. HornblowerBook Club ReviewThere is nothing I dislike about this book. The amazing story line that ended well and uniquely. I appreciate this more, knowing that it is the product of a man’s strong and creative imagination. The plot, the characters, the technology, the vocabulary, and the concept are all on point. Heat and Light is an ‘advanced- tech’ book, as the level of technology used in this book is beyond this present world. Consequently, advanced-space-technology terminologies are well used. Hence, I recommend this book to readers who like ‘tech’ books, adventure books, alien’ books, and sci-fi books. Lovers of Star Wars and The Guardian of the Galaxy will surely love this too.

  • This is a hero's journey--sort of.
I enjoyed this read. The hero's journey, the promise of the book after all, was a bit upended as the side-kicks, Sandy and Mica, phase in, and the protagonist, Hornblower, fades out in the second half. The story has a lot of action and personal growth for the sidekicks, but for Hornblower, the growth was traumatic and left me wanting to know more about him. His death, reported in an expository paragraph at the end, was unsatisfactory for me. The rest of the book was a good journey. I'm on to the next in the series. ... show more

  • Great character development
I had read Paradox Twins first and was disappointed that this was not a continuation of the story. My second thought was "another space opera". But the character development was good and carried me through the book. References to occurrences in the prequel appeared further on in the book. And like Paradox Twins, this was just plain good science fiction. I enjoyed the interaction between the species - each needing something the other provided and working together toward common goals. (Especially enjoyed the Bears.) The true test of a good book is if it haunts me afterward, and both of these books did that. Only one cure - I will have to read them both again. ... show more

  • Great read!
This book was a pleasurable ride. The characters are real and believable. This future space tale was a breath of fresh air. I hope there will be a sequel. More like this please.
