From a five-star Amazaon review: "
I was about to give up on e:book sci-fi when I picked up this book. Mr. Welsh has set the stage for great series with an unlikely group of misfits who mesh well together. There is a little bit of several of my favorite themes thrown in to this delightful space opera including cybernetics, genetic engineering, and terraforming. There is moral theme throughout, which Mr. Welsh manages to pull off without being too judgemental or preachy. The action is well paced and serves more as backdrop for character development than as the only point of the story. This is the first time I have read a book by this author, but it will certainly not be the last. I highly recommend this book." CHAOS QUARTER, available on Amazon, ebook or paperback.

From a five-star Amazon review: "What a great first book. I've read that this is the first of a series. I wholeheartedly hope so.
This work is different from other space "operas", in that it is raw, and unpolished. I say that as a compliment. It doesn't feel grandiose, at least so far, like other stories. The characters are very human, they fail, they are imperfect, the way they should be. The villains are warped, in many ways! I read this too quickly, haha, as I don't know how long I'll have to wait for the next installment. I think I'll re-read it. It's that good, IMO."

From a five-star Amazon review: "Very impressive work by a new author. Very plausible universe, interesting variety of tech and bio engineering. Terrific main characters that I hope to see more of. Great plot, good pacing, sharp witty dialog, unpredictable just the way I like it. About the only thing I didn't like was the little chapter prologs, the information could have been weaved into the story just as well. For a buck, this is an absolute steal, buy it and enjoy.
Solid 5 star space adventure. I cant wait for the next installment in this universe rich in possibilities. " CHAOS QUARTER, available from Amazon, ebook or paperback, FREE for Kindle Unlimited! |

From a five-star Amazon review: "This book has action... weird tech, and plenty of spectacular planets. I enjoyed the book immensely ( read it in 2 days)...overall the book was very entertaining. The book has a sort of Farscape feel to it. If you were a fan of the series then you will probably enjoy reading Chaos Quarter.
Quit reading the reviews already and just buy the book! You won't be sorry." CHAOS QUARTER, available on Amazon, ebook or paperback. FREE for Kindle Unlimited! |

From a five-star Amazon review: "Send someone on a "trek" into the dangerous unknown (like the Roman Legion told to march to the end of the Earth), hoping said individual doesn't come back (no one has, yet), facing aliens (or are they?), Humans (that's debatable). Plenty of action, plenty of twists and turns plot-wise, some of the weirdest individual characters you'll ever see, some of the funniest interactions between them that I've ever seen, all trying to survive. great story. I hope he has a sequel in the works. "

From a five-star Amazon review: "This book has everything. Characters you can emotionally connect with, occasional discourses on ethics, exciting space battles without devolving into long military play-by-play's, interesting ideas on genetic manipulation, and of course the best part – a crew of misfits and a beat up ship gallivanting around the Galaxy. I liked it so much I actually wrote a review, which is more than I can say for the last 20 or 30 sci-fi books I read."

From a five-star Amazon review: "Though "Chaos Quarter" is tagged as Military Sci-Fi, it is not exactly that. To be sure there are a few battles, but these are not the story's main theme or focus. At its heart, it is a story about a diverse group of flawed interesting characters thrown together by events who manage to overcome their personal challenges and differences to emerge scathed but whole. Issues ranging from religion to what it is to be truly human are touched on and along the way, the small band of misfits manage to overcome their past, their differences and a truly evil enemy. From what I could find, this is the author's first Sci-Fi offering and it shows great promise. I look forward to his future works both within the galaxy of the "Chaos Quarter" and beyond. I seldom give 5 stars but this works unique quality and the promise of more refined offerings from this author left me no choice. "
