Antares Passage

It's great that this long out of print book and its mate ANTARES DAWN are again available. An exciting, hard science adventure story set against the backdrop of interstellar war. Mr. McCollum's characters are a bit wooden sometimes, but the story moves along, the alien menace feels real, the puzzles are puzzling and the revelation at the end is a clever one, leading into the last book of the trilogy. The good news is that that book is at last available. I read ANTARES VICTORY, published by scifi-az.com, and it is a very satisfying conclusion to the series. I hope the books become more widely available because they are quite enjoyable.

For those who have been waiting for the final book in the Antares Series, ANTARES VICTORY is currently at the 70,000 word mark and things are coming together nicely as I begin the buildup to the climax.It won't be long now!

Excellent, believable hard Sci-Fi with a dash of romance and Hornblower thrown in. Loved it. Sorry he left the series hanging. I'm still waiting for the denoument.

I think this is one of the greatest and most realiistic sci/fi novels in existence.If you like Star Trek or Babylon 5 you must read this book and don't forget the sequel Antares Passage.Mr.McCollum's descriptions are accurate and realistic and why not he's an engineer involved with spacestation FREEDOM!

This book and "Antares Dawn" have got me scourering the dusty shelves of used book stores and libraries trying to find something more written by Michael McCollum! He has really piqued my interest and I'm going through withdrawl symptoms anticipating the next in the series! Highly recommended reading.
