Praise for Right to Know

“An inspiring tale of redemption and courage, set in an all too plausible future in space. Well done!” – Julie E. Czerneda, author of The Clan Chronicles

“...a wildly entertaining read...the novel had romance, an ego-maniacal supporting antagonist, family drama, intrigue, and plenty of action...if you want a fun and rollicking SF yarn that I found to be pretty suitable for most age groups, Right to Know is a great selection.” – Jon Guenther, SF Revu

“This is a fast-paced SF novel, with jailbreaks, rocket-rides and wilderness adventures on a strange planet. It also features clear themes. Freedom of the press is foremost, and the need to prioritize freedom over security plays a part, too...Recommended for anyone who likes SF with a rapid pace and a clear message.” – Timothy Gwyn
