It’s taking a while for Farside to get some traction, but all the reviews so far have been quite positive. I especially liked this one from John Walker at Fourmilab, also cross-posted at Ricochet:
This novel is not going to be nominated for any awards by the social justice warriors who have infiltrated the science fiction writer and fan communities: the author understands precisely who the enemies of civilisation and human destiny are, forthrightly embodies them in his villains, and explains why seemingly incompatible ideologies make common cause against the values which have built the modern world. The story is one of problem solving, adventure, survival, improvisation, and includes one of the most unusual episodes of space combat in all of science fiction. It would make a terrific movie.
Dang skippy! Just waiting for that call from Hollywood…
