Review: Astonished!
Rating: 5 out of 5

When I reviewed On Silver Wings (#1 in this series), my title was "Surprisingly Good", because I've had mostly bad experiences with other self-published books.  I just finished Valkyrie Rising and was astonished.  Could not put it down and has me wanting more.  It has more depth to it plus plenty of action.  I don't understand the reviewer who felt it did not have enough action.  I guess we all have different takes on things, and that's a good thing overall.  I've been reading sci-fi for over 40 years and am adding Currie to my pantheon of Drake, Weber, Ringo, Flint, Heinlein, Lee/Miller, Anderson and others.  You're in some good company there, Evan.I gave Silver Wings 5 stars, mostly out of being pleasantly surprised and to offer encouragement to the author.  Honestly, if it had been from the Baen stable, it would have been a 4.  Definitely a good read and worth getting, but Valyrie Rising stands as a 5 on it's own merits, regardless of publishing credentials.I can't wait for the Silver Wings 3!  It's great to find a new author to follow!  Good job, Evan. Keep 'em coming!Gordon
