Why read it?

1 author picked Infernum as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book has everything a scifi adventure needs: spaceships, black holes, exoplanets, and androids. Also, well-developed characters facing personal demons as friends become foes and enemies become allies.

The story contains little gems. I loved the aptitude test for new officers – so believable (and delightful,) I wonder if it happened on some real-life military ship. When I was about to head out for an appointment, I read faster and faster.

Could I finish the story before I had to leave? Well, maybe being five minutes late wasn't so bad. Ah! Satisfying ending.
