Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

M.P. Hopcroft is an author and retired clerk in Portland, Oregon in an apartment next to a small forest with entertaining squirrels in it; He is a great lover of sports and sports games despite a complete lack of athleticism. He is a member in good standing at NIWA (Northwest Independent Authors Association) and a regular at events such as Orycon. He is one of those rarities who identifies as both a "filker" and a "Gamer". In fact, some of his earliest publications were songs about things ranging from Star Trek characters to global tragedies. As with most authors of his generation, what he read or watched was an influenced his writing, much to the annoyance of his first English professor.

In addition to his own writing, forum posting is where much of his writing energy is both collected and expended.

Very interesting!

Space opera at it's finest, M. P. Hopcroft is a gem yet undiscovered by the science fiction and fantasy world.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2021

This genre is new territory for me. And while I don't think I'm going to be a huge fan of it, I can't say this story wasn't entertaining.

A surprising page-turner despite the typos

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2021

I'm not really interested in sci-fi stories in space or futuristic settings.. But I'm impressed.
I was pulled in and found myself reading to know what happens next until I was suddenly at the end.

The story is descriptive and decently written. I would say well written however there are noticeably errors whether it is a word, typo or simple misspelling.

There are still mysterious parts of the story that I would like to find answers to that the author leaves unanswered. But maybe they do this for the possibility or creating another book to create a series. I would like to read another story that gives further background to the crew of the Fountainhead.
