I am not a sci-fi fan by any means. In fact I did not choose this book, I won it and started reading it fully expecting not to finish it! I could not put it down! I devoured it in a day! The characters are fantastic and the aliens are portrayed in such a way that I actually began to hope that they existed so that I could meet one! It is a must read and will not be at all what you expected! I can't wait for the sequel!

Ah yes....a sci-fi book that doesn't insult my intelligence. A very satisfying read. Disc is thoughtful in the best sense -- the characters are realistic, the technology is credible, the logic is consistent, and the strong story takes you on a wild ride that is just believable enough until... Well, I don't want to ruin it for you!

Disc, as a first novel by Stu Neal, is very much in keeping with the tradition of hard science fiction established by Asimov, Clarke and their like.

Disc approached a particularly challenging subject and artfully leads the reader to the edge of his seat with believability.

Mr. Neal has clearly done research that keeps his tale grounded in reality and yet allows for a smooth transition to the fantastic. This reader never saw the end coming.

This hard science fiction fan will look forward to more works by Mr. Neal ash he hones his craft.

Easy to read hard to put down fast moving book.The actors ,I mean species fit the time and technology depicted. The ending was unexpected and left me uplifted an wanting more.

Disc is a great sci-fi read. Stu Neal has created two worlds with well-developed characters. While he explores the differences between them the similarities are uncovered as well. It's a "can't put the book down" read and you are left wanting more. I can't wait for the sequel!
