Praise for Cameron's Science Fiction: 
 
I am in awe of the writing ability and imagination of Cameron Cooper. 
 
Before reading any of this author's work, I would have stated I did not really like science fiction. THAT has changed. 
 
Brilliant and intricate. 
 
Twists and turns so you're never really sure what is going on behind the scenes.
