Author's Description:
Chuck Sneyd joins his grandfather Morty in an effort to build a new form of spaceship. Instead of rockets, the ship is to have a new form of propulsion.

Review by Derek Smith [other reviews by Derek Smith]
Reviewed:
Whilst this book has a fairly slow start, it quickly becomes interesting and has some good twists and turns in the plot. Characterisation is crafted well and most of the cast are well defined. Those that are not are in some sort of caricature/stereotype role and are suitably amusing.
Mr. Sapien takes a few liberties with the laws of physics but this is not just fiction but Science Fiction, so why not.
Does it have a happy ending? You will just have to read it to find out. We are promised a sequel but there is no sign of it on SOL as yet, Please Mr. Sapien, don't keep us waiting too long.
Well written with very few errors/typos, I commend this tale to anyone who likes a bit of action, some flying and a touch of romance.
