About this ebook
A tragic collision. Twelve lives lost. The wreckage of a history-making space vessel lies scattered across the moon's surface. Captain Ben Wildes, the pioneer of Saturn, and a rising star in the Earth Space Defense force, is found negligent after a deeply politicized trial.
A year later, Ben receives a surprising opportunity to redeem his suspended career. He's provisionally reinstated to investigate the fate of a missing commercial space mining vessel last reported an area that's perilously close to a sensitive territorial line. The incident requires a careful, firsthand investigation. Corroboration of an attack could easily breach long-standing treaties between two superpowers, which would lead to war.
As the mission unfolds, Ben uncovers shocking secrets with alarming ramifications, and quickly learns that chasing redemption is far more perilous than he ever anticipated.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received a copy of this ebook for free via Library Thing Member Giveaways in exchange for a review. And I'm glad I did! One of the better sci fi books I've read recently, I quite enjoyed this one. Minor irritations in the editing (the wrong name in two places), but other than that, the story flowed nicely, the writing was good, and I found the story compelling and interesting. The characters were mostly believable, and enough backstory was provided on most of them that you were able to feel a connection with why they did what they did. All in all, it held my interest throughout and was enjoyable to read!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow! I really loved this book!You follow a captain who has previously been involved in an accident where his spaceship has been lost. He is given control over a very secret mission with a very secret stealth spaceship to scout out a sector which has a friendly ship which has been shot down.However, everything is not all as it seems. Is the general who sent him on this mission above board? Is his ship safe or are there secrets about this mission and his ship that will come to their undoing?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book has plot twists throughout the story, all the way to the very last page. Every time I think I have it guessed / predicted / figured out, another pleasant and exciting surprise comes up, whetting my appetite for more. The story line is very believable, and entertaining. A MUST read. Was Fottler an officer in the Navy or something? Much of the detail in every chapter is about the command structure in the Navy and on a ship. Entertaining, to me, at least, having been in the Marine Corps, but maybe not for everyone.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received a free copy of this book for an honest and impartial review: I was caught up in the story immediatly. Chasing Redemption is a space drama that depicts the adventure of a falsely accused space captain in his plight for redemption. The captains religious views are challenged but this does not get in the way of the story, it just adds another layer to his personality. The religious references are few and in no way offensive. The plot has many surprises in it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"This ebook was provided by the author or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of LibraryThing."Fast moving well thought out sci fi novel with plenty of twists. The characters are realistic, interesting, and engaging. The imagery is clear. Beware this book, as it will grab you firmly and not let go!
