"The situations are realistic, the characters interesting, the perils harrowing, and the stakes could not be higher... 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." - John Walker, Ricochet.com

"...a fast-paced and exciting story which bounces between the borders of technological thriller and science fiction... "Farside" is an impressive effort." - Mark Lardas, Galveston Daily News
