The Light Years

“The Light Years is one of best novels about the psychological challenges of relativity I’ve ever read. This is what science fiction was invented for!”“Love in the time of relativity. Greene paints a picture of the social complexities of the lightspeed era, with realistic characters navigating interstellar intrigue.”“Laced with politics, science, history, poetry, music, greed, hope, and a little Johnny Cash, this character-rich space opera has a well-developed and believable plot that kept me reading from the opening line to the surprising and satisfying end.”“The Light Years is a thought-provoking debut from a skilled writer.” “Sophisticated worldbuilding and diverse, emotionally-resonant characters make Greene an author to watch.”“The main characters are distinctive, Greene’s dialogue lively and the prose vivid.”“On the surface, you get an engrossing space opera, but if you look deeper you will find explorations of poverty, arranged marriage, and the toll that difficult moral choices take on families.”“there is always light to be found in the darkness and great discoveries lurk in unexpected places.”
