"David Gwinn offers a captivating tale that features the best elements of great science fiction— compelling characters, riveting action and a central creature that drives the emotional narrative." — Mark Davis, Talk Show Host, Salem Media Group & Author "Lone Star America" , "Upside Down"

"Jupiter's Ghost is not only a thrilling intergalactic chase for revenge in the spirit of Moby Dick it also brings the reader to a deeper appreciation of friendship while taking on the world." — Greg Laird, Author "One Life for Another"

I was skeptical when I first started reading David Gwinn's "Jupiter's Ghost." It forces you to ask so many questions, such as: Can a universe have nebula whales, especially a blue one so massive that it hunts and destroys spaceships? A disgraced and overconfident Fralie pilot who faces skeptical humans and about everyone else in the universe? A muscular, tattooed and courageous whale-hunting Braxen named Zaxxen who's friendly, spiritual and can get frightened like passengers on a turbulent flight?
In the end, that's what makes Gwinn's book so good, especially for those who love science fiction. Gwinn makes the Jupiter Ghost crew's quest believable and engaging, so much that I googled nebula whales to make sure they didn't exist. His protagonist Jore reminds you of the talented but disliked underdog who can redeem himself through sheer courage and determination. And then there's the likeable Braxen named Zaxxen who has that Hulk-like charm but without all the anger and who says "my friend" so many times that you question whether his demeanor is a ruse.
Gwinn's book is a fun read from beginning to end. It takes you on a visual journey to the most dangerous parts of the universe because of a captain's thirst for vengeance and fame. It's a space-age version of "Moby Dick" but with men, women, a Fralie and, of course, the Braxen named Zaxxen.
And I do highly recommend reading it, my friend. – Joe Hight, journalist, author and owner, Best of Books
