Here's what some notable sci-fi authors are saying about When the Sky Fell:
"An engaging sci-fi blend of military and politics."--Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula award winning author
"What a promising first novel from Lynch and Barr--exciting space battles, convincing characters we can care about, sense of wonder and real heart. If only the space opera I grew up with had been this human." --Bruce McAllister, 2007 Hugo award nominee and author of Dream Baby
"In war, things can go wrong, and people will react well, or badly. Such is the case in this action-filled, page-turning, epic space battle for the survival of planet Earth. Hang on to your seats!"--James C. Glass, author of the Shanji trilogy
"Exuberant space opera in the style of the golden age of sci fi."--Michael Z. Williamson, author of Freehold
"Fast-paced novel for fans of military science fiction."--Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula award winning author
Mike and Brandon, above all, give all the glory to God. "For he made made humans in his image and that means he has imputed his creative passions in us (in so many various forms). For those imbued with the desire to write, if we publish or not, if we sell a single copy or ten million, succeed or fail, let us not forget we are still able to create entire worlds using the same method God used...words." --Brandon Barr
