John Calia
“Amazon review: The world building in this novel is supreme. It’s 2049, and the Space Force is up and running. Cars drive themselves in efficient, bumper-to-bumper traffic systems. Cryogenics is a thing, and so are advanced medical implants.

There are also scary “advancements” in society such as a Culture Index system (similar to current day China’s) in which the party in power controls how citizens behave by tying their behavior to employment opportunities. Every person is monitored via an unobtrusive implant and/or AI personal assistants.”
John Calia, The Awakening of Artemis

Shane VanAulen
“There has to be a balance of danger and safety as a leader. To risk oneself foolishly endangers everyone you lead, but to lead from complete safety undermines your command’s authority and troop morale.”

Shane Van Aulen - Star Wolves 2023”
