Praise for The Chronicles of Promise Paen "Bauers' debut is an
impressive achievement, set in an enormous, complex universe that
combines large-scale action with the emotional journey of one truly
unique heroine." --RT Book Reviews "This is a solid, well-crafted
military SF." --Booklist "Military science fiction with a kick-butt
female lead ..." --Kirkus Reviews "The action scenes are plentiful;
however, while Bauer sketches in the outline of the politics
shaping Montana's history, a strong picture of why the various
forces are fighting for control of the planet is never really
conveyed."
--Library Journal "On the whole, though, a very, um, promising
debut novel." --Booklist "Bauer's debut needs to grow into its
powered boots." --Publishers Weekly "Action-packed, character-rich
and mil spec'd to the max. Empires may rise but this backwater
rules!" --Dani Kollin, co-author of The Unincorporated Man "It's
almost a cliche to compare military SF novels to Starship Troopers,
but this is the real deal. Bauers has created a gritty, complex
story Heinlein would have been proud of. " --James Cambias, author
of A Darkling Sea "Bauer puts together characters who take up
residence in your heart, the cold-blooded politics of the "Great
Game," the power of devotion and loyalty, and the human cost
carnage extracts from even the most courageous. I highly recommend
it."
--David Weber, New York Times bestselling author of the Honor
Harrington series "Lieutenant Promise Paen really doesn't need the
voice of her dead mother nagging her as she stands at the threshold
of interstellar war. Or, does she? Unbreakable is a little bit
Starship Troopers and a little bit Esmay Suiza, with a dash of
Firefly for flavor. W.C. Bauers gives us everything we want in our
military science fiction, but never allows the hardware and action
to overshadow Paen and everyone else caught in the crossfire."
--Dayton Ward, New York Times bestselling author of The Last World
War
