Resumen del Editor
FROM THE BACK COVER:
Pilots can have a run of luck, but they'll be dead soon. Buried in backwater racing holes if not obliterated in space. Their lives are short, lived at the edge of death. One wrong step, one collision. Collisions are inevitable. Samson Ford presses a small, wooden cross against his chest and feels how different he is from other pilots, and knows he is no different at all. He thinks of their color hued, cosmetically engineered skin and looks down at his own tanned brown hands. Of their too bright, sparkling eyes and how beautiful their women are. As if they weren't human. As if none of them were, not only the pilots. None of them believed in the god. He thinks of the woman he loves and wonders if she believes. The woman who is one of them, who has secrets, who is different.
He lays in his bunk on a small cargo carrier cruising slowly across the Solar System and stares through a ship's window at distant stars. When he closes his eyes he dreams of the Solar Regatta, the great race around the sun.

Historia
In the mid-20th century, a routine mission to the moon resulted in an unmanned rocket missing its mark and tumbling toward the sun. The rocket was presumed lost. Life went on. A century later, the rocket came back. Believed at first to be a piece of space debris, it was soon confirmed to match the description of the ship from the long-lost moon mission. It looks like our rocket, it feels like our rocket, but it is not our rocket. What is it? How did it get here? Who sent it? And why... Debris is a science-fiction story full of mystery, adventure, and contemplation on the human condition and...

Historia
All ships have crossed the finish line and the Solar Regatta has come to an end. Samson Ford's cigarette racer rockets mindlessly through space. What happens next? A young woman is kidnapped. A genetic experiment finds redemption. A war begins against natural born people. Viruses. Plague. Genocide. And worse? One woman tries to save everything. One man becomes more than a man. There is a disruption to the tides on Earth. And a monkey creature dies. Blazing the Sun was only the beginning. Sit down, strap in, and brace for turbulence. The adventure continues here.

Historia
Stranded in the past in 1836, Will Travers woke up in the body of William Barret Travis, commander of the doomed Alamo command, and did what any self-respecting Texan would do when handed a bag of lemons: He made lemonade - defeating Santa Anna's army, twice, forging a lasting peace with the Comanche and rescuing his son from a band of kidnappers. Sixteen years later and just months after he wins the presidency of the Republic of Texas, Will faces the worst crisis of his life. The young republic is being torn apart by civil war. On paper, it appears Will holds all the cards: The rebels are ...

… and they are us Found adrift and lifeless; on a collision course with Earth, the Imperial Daignault class Destroyer Rose of the Dawn, a damaged relic from an ancient and faded empire, may be all that stands between humanity and the remorseless scourge of the insectoid Creednax. Voracious and relentlessly, the Creednax consume everything in their path, including people, planets and themselves if necessary. Only the Rose of the Dawn has the smallest chance of stopping them — if the abducted captain and shanghaied crew can figure out how to run the alien ship in time. Unfortunately, time...

He'd been an important part of the team putting together the International Data Bank, which would track every single move made by every single human being. As the project neared completion, he realized that no one would ever truly be free again. At the very last moment he blanked his file, changed his face, and created a back door into the system.

Sharply written, pleasure to read.
This novel was a breath of fresh air, while it is a classic story in the sense that it revolves around the experiences of a spaceship racing pilot in our solar system. some 320 years in the future, it stood out to me as something finely crafted and different from the worn out tropes that so many SF authors lazily indulge in these days. It was brisk and tightly written, polished. I recommend. And I am immediately moving on to book two. As I write this review audible's "virtual voice" is something new, and after tackling a couple nonfiction works with virtual voice, this was my first work of fiction. The story was compelling enough that the virtual voice was not a hindrance. I found listening at 1.25 playback offered the most natural sounding narration.
