From the last frontier, Space. A must-have, out of this world adventure! Star Scout Rising, First Trail by Gary Darby is a thoughtful, awe-inspiring, and spine-tingling Sci-Fi mystery that follows a young man named Del Baldura during his quest for knowledge, truth, and discovery in the distant future of human and alien kind. This story has it all superb background, surprises, mystery, love, futuristic technological possibilities, bizarre life forms, and a hero trying to make sense of his duty and loyalty, his current leadership responsibilities, and his search for truth about part of his and his family's history. Volume One of a three volume set, Darby hits a grand-slam with this first novel. Smart and thought provoking. Volume Two due out in 2011.
Hold on for a ride in this first book of a series by Gary Darby. Twists and turns and action throughout the book for Del and others. The one draw back for me, the non-number person, was the chapter dates like: Star Date 2433.056. So you can see some serious science fiction thought put into this book.
Another note: my younger son thought the cover was "very freaky!"
