Excellent author, well executed story
The more I read this of this author the more frequently I search for other books of his I haven’t yet read. Strong action line, intriguing characters and entertaining plot.
Nothing high brow, just good space opera.

Magic meets science, an interesting premise. The first book in the series, tries hard to mesh two worlds that are usually at odds. Let's see how the series plays out.

Nice addition to Starship's Mage universe. Although I've been looking forward to another Damien Montgomery novel it's nice to see David Rice and his crew again, as well as new interesting characters like Maria.
It was a decent plot and a nice prequel as it's set before second novel of the Starship's Mage.
I really hope the crew of the Red Falcon gets to work with Damien again. That would be great!

Interesting concept
Well developed and interesting concept of magic or psionics used to enable or improve space travel and military skills. Good read.

Coming across this spinoff series was like a surprise present. I thought I had marathoned all the offerings in this 'verse and was tickled to discover I had not.
This series returns to the captain from the early books of the main series. He's a great character to use as a straight man upon which to anchor interesting, unique characters and that seems to be Stewart's intention here.
I'm going to jump right in to the next, but I expect to be bummed when I have to wait for the next to be written.
Glynn Stewart - must read.
