If you enjoy Space Opera then I highly recommend 'The North Star Serial Part 1' by Bryan Thomas Schmidt.
Captain Janaai Resnick takes command of the Destroyer North Star and begins her military career. The fight against a race called the Korleans who feel that ancient missionaries wronged them and tried to destroy their culture. Included as part of the series of short stories as those about the enemy themselves and their motivations in the war they began.
Most moving are two stories 'The Orphaning' and 'The Scout' since they depict a massacre and the real life reaction of someone who lost his entire family -rather than the typical 'I forgive you' unrealistic depiction often used in Christian fiction. Kudos for the writer being brave enough to deflect away from tradition and show how a person, Christian or not, would behave because of such a loss.
Also included are the first chapter of two novels, 'The Worker Prince' which has been sold to a publisher and 'The Sandman'. Both show great promise as Christian Science Fiction and the blogger urges fans of this genre to carefully watch Bryan Thomas Schmidt as an up and coming writer.
Reviewed book available on Amazon.
