Reviews

PRAISE FOR FORTRESS IN ORION "This is space opera at its best--simultaneously pulse-pounding and mind-expanding. Resnick is our E. E. 'Doc' Smith, our Edgar Rice Burroughs: he is the twenty-first century's master of excitement and adventure. Enjoy!"
--ROBERT J. SAWYER, Hugo Award-winning author of Red Planet Blues "Mike Resnick is able to write deftly and poignantly about a broad spectrum of characters, exploring vast and colorful landscapes, all wrapped up in a highly entertaining story."
--KEVIN J. ANDERSON, New York Times-bestselling author of The Dark between the Stars "The Fortress in Orion is interstellar intrigue and derring-do of the old school. Dominic Flandry would feel right at home."
--ERIC FLINT, author of the 1632 series "Packed with colorful characters and endless invention, The Fortress in Orion is exciting entertainment that hurls along at nearly the speed of light. Someone should make a movie out of this book!"
