"Just read the first chapter and Im already sold on the universe."-Emmett Shear, co-founder of Twitch"Intense! Its been awhile since a book has called me the way this one has.It has the character development of John Varley, the plot twists of Robert E Taylor, battle scenes that are reminiscent of Jack Campbell, and the dramatic angst of Stephen R. Donaldson. Behind it all lurks an irreverent Nivenesque humor."-Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin, author of Clean Code"This is the best new hard sci-fi Ive read in a long time. It follows in the best traditions of Asimov, Heinlein, Niven, Vinge, Card, Zahn, and the like."-JT, Space Force Systems Engineer"Theft of Fire combines the kind of enjoyable space opera youd get in classic Asimov books with a great interpersonal plot and romance and puts it all in a 22nd century hard SciFi setting similar to The Expanse. And its just awesome!... If you enjoy a good action and adventure SciFi that centers human agency, fallibility, and growth, then youll love Theft of Fire."- Ummon Karpe, Rocket Scientist"A down-on-his-luck asteroid miner, a mysterious heiress, an ancient alien race--Devon Eriksens Theft of Fire weaves these classic elements into a story that feels refreshingly cutting-edge, with prose as lean and no-frills as the heros hand-rolled spaceship. The physics are so tight it feels like he spent hours plotting out each scene with a slide rule, and the characters so lovingly drawn I believed in them from the first line of dialog--including one of the most convincing post-GPT AIs Ive seen in print. If youre tired of stories that preach at you, insult your intelligence... if youre after a book that promises a good old-fashioned hard sci-fi adventure in the spirit of Gregory Benford or James S.A. Corey, and then delivers so much more, then this is one you wont want to miss."-Johnny Schmidt, Failure Mode"I love a good sci-fi heist, but the main strength of Theft of Fire is in its characters."-Stephanie Hance, engineer and avid reader Details ISBN1962514013 Author Devon Eriksen Publisher Devon Eriksen LLC Series Orbital Space Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781962514019 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2023-11-11 Imprint Devon Eriksen LLC Subtitle Orbital Space #1 Series Number 1 Audience General Pages 496 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
