The Desert of Stars
by veilwar
Friend of the Veil War and Really Big Idea alum John Lumpkin has a new book out – The Desert of Stars. The sequel to Through Struggle, the Stars is just as good as the first – no sophomore slump here. If you like hard sf this is something you want to be reading. The world that John has created is plausible in its politics and history and realistic in its portrayal of future technology. In fact, there’s only one real departure from our current understanding of physics: the wormhole gates that allow FTL travel between Earth and her colony worlds.
If you’ve ever wondered what space combat might be like, these books will give you a taste of what real space warfare might be like. All and all, an excellent read; a ripping yarn of space war and interstellar espionage. Highly recommended.

IF no trees died in the making, then it isn’t a book. It is just an electronic ghost of one. I must have dead tree!!!
Apparently John is not a Lorax-blowing tree hugger; there will be hard-copy, tree-slaying editions available shortly.
Don’t have a timeframe for that, but I don’t imagine it will be long.
He said the paperback is a month or two away, he intends to try very hard to kill every typo before he sends it.
