Paradox Alley

This book completes a mind-stretching trilogy that never fails to entertain. From the first book of the series, "Starrigger" through "Red Limit Freeway" to "Paradox Alley", the reader is treated to concepts so amazing and soul stirring that it harkens back to the Glory Days of hard science fiction. More importantly, Mr. DeChancie's sense of humor and irony shines through in all three books. His characters are believable and as "real" as any ever created by Heinlein himself. You care about what happens to them. These are amazing pieces of fiction and if anyone in Hollywood hasn't opted them for the big screen, they should.

Essential to the story arc, and a good standalone read also

This is the second book in one of the best series ever, with a great "hard science" foundation, and a great story. I couldn't put them down until I had read the entire series through, and sorely regret that I cannot find a copy of this book anywhere.

The third chapter in the timeless 'Skyway' between the stars

After finally finding and reading (twice over) this last book of John DeChancie's Starrigger trillogy, all I can say is I was sorry that the story had to end...this author has put together a set of books with a story so interwoven and captivating that you will find you won't want to put down untill you are finished. My gratitude to John DeChancie for a great adventure!
