The Ring of Charon is a fantastic book and I could not wait for the second part to read. Unfortunaly, it took very long to finish it. Then, when the Shattered Sphere finaly found its way to the shop, I've had been waiting so long, that I read the first book again, and it was a pleasure, as I discovered and understood many things, I was not able to the first time. The Shatered Sphere starts off actually very slow, but when it starts going, it certainly lives more then up to the first part. Wow! That is truly "Hardcore Sience Fiction". I'm just afraid, that I will never find out, how this amazing story will end as theres the stuff for a fantastic third book! Outstanding books, which I will read over and over again, and who knows, maybe we will see the end of this great saga some day...
Fantabulous!

Roger Allen must be a very close friend of the Muse. The concept of this book is very creative, and he extends science fiction to a new level.
Hard Hard Hard Science Fiction

Don't let the cover fool you. About 5 pages into this book it takes off and doesn't let you go. World building/destruction go on at an amazing pace. If you like your science fiction HARD..this is the book for you!
Great book!! Read it now!!!!

I liked The Ring of Charon because it was "real". There are no heroes, no amazing brakethroughs (no-one finds the cure to cancer 15 seconds before their best friend dies), and the best thing - it is writteng so well, that I couldn't stop reading...
Outstanding! Very hard to put down!

I found the book to be a very good read. I enjoyed the character development that did not take up too much of the story. I liked the story content, and found that it never got dry. The author gave enough detail without taking a whole chapter to describe what something was. I have read many books, and I can honestly say that very few come close to this one. It was great
