In epic space battles that define a universe, there are the lives of the people that call it their home. Spellbook Studios, the company that brought you The Infinite Black game, gives you a glimpse into some of those lives. See their universe as you have never seen it before. Voyage into “The Infinite Black.” In the early days of deep space exploration, the Corporations controlled everything. Finding it easier to plunder the resources they wanted from planets that were unable to resist, they created the first of the Harvester Fleets. These vast fleets would find, conquer and strip planets of their precious resources, leaving a trail of broken, lifeless shells in their wake. Harvester Fleet Septimus Decius was dispatched to a rich target, ripe for the harvest. They never suspected that everything would change when they reached Haakon Prime. Ambushed by the enigmatic race known as the Wyrd, they fought a desperate battle to survive. Even their powerful rivals, the Wyrd, were not prepared for the chain reaction of cataclysmic events that would result. Centuries later, radically different crews on two separate ships would discover that their fates were intertwined with the Lost Fleet. Destiny would bring them all to Haakon Prime, but it will be their choices that will define them. Will they join the Lost Fleet?

About the Author D.A. Roberts was born in the small town of Lebanon, Missouri. Growing up on the farm gave him plenty of opportunities to cultivate a fertile imagination. Encouraged by his mother, he dreamed of one day becoming a famous writer. An avid reader, D.A. enjoys reading more than watching television. A diverse career path has given him a unique view of the world. From soldier to factory worker, from bouncer to lab technician, and from Security Officer to Corrections Officer. Having worn many different hats evolves a very different perspective. He draws on all of these experiences to bring his writing to life on a very human level. He married Annette in the summer of 1993 and has been happily married, ever since. Three teenaged sons keep them both busy. Nathan, Nic and Noah are his pride and joy. They have an English Mastiff named Xander, who is a big part of their lives. D.A. loves to camp, hunt, fish, hike and Geocache. He also enjoys old-school pen and paper role-playing games. When not writing or on duty as a Corrections Officer, he enjoys spending time with his family. A good cup of coffee, a warm fire and a good book are his guilty pleasures.

Mostly because of the science part. I often get lost in the science and math in the hard science used in a lot of sci-fi to make it more believable. So yeah I don't do a lot of it. But when a friend who happens to be a great writer asks you to review his new sci-fi novel you put on your big boy pants and suck it up and prepare to Google a lot.OK so to start this book is the first based on an online game called The Infinite Black by spellbook.com. Taking place in the distant future where the earth has been abandoned and humans have colonized the stars we get some background as to how the universe works with corporations basically taking the place of governments. Each corporation has adopted an ancient idea as the foundation of its structure. For example The Fabretti corp. structured itself after the Roman Empire. Other after the Samurai etc. Then we get to the crux of the story where a Fabretti ship and its crew come under attack and while trying to escape they get caught in a repeating time loop and only one character seems to realize this. We then jump ahead about 200 years and meet two other crews and get to know them, one being pirates and the other a freighter and we see how they are involved in the overall story. I don't want to go into anything more because I want you to read it and enjoy it like I did.So despite my reservations because of the science I really did enjoy this book. I had a little trouble at first oddly enough not because of the science but because of the Latin and the use of ancient Roman titles. It seemed a weird combination of future and past but it eventually evened out for me. I really enjoyed the cast of characters from the other two ships and especially the captain of the freighter ship. They definitely had a Firefly feel about them. Over all I really liked this bookNow comes the part I hate... pointing out what didn't work for me. The main character from the Fabretti ship talks about another crew member and how he is attracted to her. At points it felt like he knew nothing about her but then we find out they have been having a secret affair so it seemed contradictory and confusing. For example he says something about her having an accent he couldn't quite place but if he was involved with her then it shouldn't be a mystery. Another problem is the titles and language, while there were footnotes at the end for some it wasn't complete. I did have some problems with the science as far as the warp drive for lack of better term but eventually I got beyond it. The biggest issue I had isn't really a huge deal and it's that I wanted more background on everyone. On everything. I just felt like I was missing some critical points and I am hoping that future books give me those details.So despite a few faults this is a great start for Roberts in a new genre and I hope to see more in the near future.

By Bill Osborne The first thought that came to my mind when I saw the book was: "D.A. is trying hands at science fiction. This is going to be interesting!" I simply was NOT prepared to be blown away like I was with just how good his first attempt at this genre is! He draws you right in from the start! Being a student of history, I loved the throwback to the past such as The Fabretti Corporation patterning itself after the Roman Empire. The way he describes the characters is first rate. Even in the slower parts of the book, you are reeled in & cannot escape. I have read the book 3 times so far & I like it even more each time. If his sci fi work is THIS GOOD for a first attempt, then I can guarantee he's going to have a long career writing!!!!

No waiting 50 pages for the story to reveal itself. You are just in it from the beginning. I was very pleased the tradition continued with this first sci-fi novel. I admittedly don't read a lot of sci-fi. I find I have a more particular taste in sci-fi than I do in some other genres so I'm hesitant to take a leap of faith on a sci-fi book. For those who have read DA's zombie series, this is very different in most ways and yet it is still a DA book. The aspects of his writing I enjoy most are all present but he clearly has the ability to write multiple genres without it seeming like he dumped a zombie story on a spaceship and called it sci-fi. This story held my interest through a billion annoying interruptions lol. Sci-fi can be confusing, ridiculous, too faux-science-y but I didn't find that to be the case here at all. DA's writing is, I feel, about the characters of which this story has an amazing set. He is also able to create a fully-formed world for them to inhabit. It is simply a great read. I am on my 2nd trip to the future with DA hoping this time I will have fewer interruptions so I can fully immerse myself in the adventure.PS: I am not familiar with the Infinite Black game so it is definitely not a requirement and unless you're told this has any connection to a game you would have absolutely no idea.Sidebar: It has been said, and I agree (and like it), that the Ragnarok books have an FPS game feel. This book, which is in some way connected to a game has absolutely no "game feel". If you read and weren't "on board" with the game-feel of Raganrok or were discouraged from reading that series because of a review that mentions it, please don't let that discourage you from purchasing this title. Likewise if you loved the "game feel" of Ragnarok and are worried that you will miss it here, you won't. :-)
