"The Incredible Origins of the Onyx Sun is a fun entry into a brand new youth science fiction series, highly recommended.”
-- Midwest Book Review
"This story is original and refreshing. It's nice to see someone getting back to the science in sci-fi, especially in young adult fiction. It's obvious that Zack has an unusual bond with his strange grandfather -- a great set-up for the plot. "
-- Amazon Judge from the 2010 Breakthrough Novel Awards
"An excellent middle school science fiction thriller starring an intriguing hero! The story line is action-packed and filled with twists. Zack is a terrific role model as he and his grandfather encourage children to see each day as a fun, puzzle-filled adventure. Young adults will enjoy flying to the Moon, controlling giant robots, and saving the Earth alongside Zack and his exciting friends."
