Praise for the Finder Chronicles Wicked, fast-paced, and fun. This is a total romp, and I loved it. -Elizabeth Bear, Hugo-Award winning author of Ancestral Night Fergus Ferguson makes an excellent lead in this fast-paced hard-sf repo adventure set in space opera's sweeping scale and balanced on the heart of one very finely wrought character. Suzanne Palmer's writing is delightful. -Hugo-, Nebula-, and World-fantasy finalist Fran Wilde, author of the award-winning Bone Universe trilogy Finder is a raucous good time! Suzanne Palmer's Fergus Ferguson is charming, imperfect, always in trouble, and a most resourceful rogue. I can't wait for his next adventure. Characterization at its finest. Firecracker dialogue. -W. Michael Gear, New York Times-bestselling author of Outpost Finder proves hard SF, done brilliantly, is passionate, powerful, and brimming with humanity. Be it daily life or war in zero g, realistic communities in space or making us laugh at what clever beings we humans are, Suzanne Palmer nails it. I cannot wait for more. Highly recommended. -Julie E. Czerneda, author of Search Image Finder is a breathless ride. -Jacey Bedford, author of Empire of Dust A breakneck-paced and action-packed science-fiction adventure featuring an endearing con artist whose current mission to retrieve a stolen spaceship ignites a war.... A nonstop SF thrill ride until the very last page. -Kirkus Palmer makes short-distance space travel feel as comfortable as riding a bicycle, and concludes this entertaining caper with a clever resolution and a hint of intrigue. Fans of space adventure will find this a fine example of the form. -Publishers Weekly This will please anyone who embraces outer-space yarns. -Library Journal A fun, fast-moving jaunt into the zippier, zanier side of space opera. -B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog If you're looking for a fun, little jaunt into a believable backwater with lots of intrigue, fun, and unsettling reminders of how fragile we all can be, this is one book that manages to encapsulate that mixture quite well. -Fanbase Press
