Vigilance Reviews

Fast-paced, gripping hard SF with death in hard vacuum waiting at every turn. (On the Fractal Series)
"Gripping, intense, military SF. Stunning and urgent." (On the Fractal Series) -- Anna Smith Spark, author of the Empires of Dust series
Space battles, sabotage, and treachery envelop a gripping whodunit, as Captain Ellisa Shann strives to identify a murderer among her crew and save her ship, the Khidr, from imminent destruction. Fearless is a fabulous read from a writer who knows how to deliver. (On the Fractal Series) -- Ian Whates, Author of Dark Angels Rising and 2019 Winner of the Karl Edward Wagner Award
Fearless is a brilliant achievement, and one of the best science-fiction novels I have read in a very long time." (On the Fractal Series)
"The depths of outer space test the strength of a dynamic heroines inner resolve in Strouds smart, introspective space opera set in the year 2118. [...] With an attention to detail that will please hard science fiction fans, Stroud raises fascinating questions about the politics of space exploration. This is one to be savored."
Rigorous hard SF with a powerful but flawed protagonist and a fascinating historical background, 'Fearless' is a treat for just about any Analog reader." (On the Fractal Series) -- Analog Science Fiction & Fact
A wonderful, modern, inclusive and clever science fiction that deserves to be a part of anyones collection. (On the Fractal Series) -- SF Book
"[Allen Stroud] also brings a Clarkian feel that grounds the story in the best tradition of science fiction. He keeps the action going, and does a fine job of showing the difficulties of conflict in space. Highly Recommended. (On the Fractal Series)
