Voyagers

The character development is great. The premiss is very good. The main character is poor. You get the idea of a ninja with a PhD and a heart of gold. The author's ideas about martial arts are more like that found in an action flick. Sorry Been you can't kick down a cyclone fence or crush a skull with a single kick. You don't check a computer's N-body calculations or trajectories by hand ...... Well not in less than a week. I could go one, but I won't. None of this would have matters if the novel was a "StarTreck" like book. However, it was presented as a hard science fiction novel. As such the main character should stay in bounds with reality or there needs to be an explanation why. Just as a side, the whole book seemed like a 1970 work. Maybe its a re-release.

I loved reading through the whole series. A good writer who doesn't over complicate. A story both older children and adults alike can enjoy and understand. I could not put it down till I'd finished every book.
