The Long Way Home

Praise for Interstellar Medic: The Long Run: “[T]he adventure and alien culture encounters power a vivid tale that blends wry humor with action that sci-fi readers will find refreshingly different from traditional genre reads, and hard to put down.” —Midwest Book ReviewPraise for Frontier: “Reading through the book, it is very clear just how ripped-from-the-headlines this book really is … Frontier is an enjoyable near-future science fiction thriller, a lightning-fast plot that feels like something that could be seen within the next hundred years.” —Warped Factor Praise for Frozen Orbit (Eccentric Orbits, book one): “The story moves quickly with elements of both a spy thriller and a space race … Frozen Orbit could make for an impressive movie, one that would stand with greats such as Contact or Interstellar.” —Booklist “… hard science fiction and an entertaining and gripping plot… . Chiles nails the atmosphere of a NASA-run human spaceflight mission in the 21st century, the jargon of the mission controllers and astronauts, and the bureaucratic infighting characterizing today’s NASA… . The scenario and background … are the scaffolding on which a gripping tale is formed. Readers experience the wonder the astronauts feel on a remarkable voyage, groan as the Earth goes crazy as the expedition progresses, and thrill to a powerful conclusion … science fiction at its best.” —The Galveston County Daily News Praise for Farside by Patrick Chiles: “The situations are realistic, the characters interesting, the perils harrowing, and the stakes could not be higher.” —John Walker, Ricochet.com “… a fast-paced and exciting story that bounces between the borders of technological thriller and science fiction… . an impressive effort.” —The Galveston County Daily News Praise for Patrick Chiles: “Chiles puts his military and aviation experience to good use writing science fiction with a hard edge of realism … Technology we could build now and situations we’re likely to face when we use it combine to give Chiles’ worlds and characters a verisimilitude that draws you in.” —Rick Partlow, best-selling author of the Drop Troopers series
