Maxwell Ardis is a rocket mechanic. As far as he knows, he is the only one of his kind. He is the man you call when your spaceship breaks down in mid-flight. Need a lift from low Earth orbit? Call Max. Communications satellite craps out? Give Max a ring. There is no job too far-out, given adequate fuel and appropriate thrust.

Max Thrust is a novel about rockets, science, and rocket scientists. A new space age dawns in the 21st century, and to understand the possibilities of space travel, one must appreciate the challenges as well. A rocket rides fire at the extreme edge of what is possible by leveraging materials science, chemistry, physics, and computing. This story will take you on a journey of real rockets, where understanding the mathematics means the difference between life and death.

The story was well constructed. The science was solid, and the characters were not hysterical and overemotional. Characters somehow manage to encounter and resolve problems without pages and pages of moaning and hysteria. The narrator is good, with proper inflection and word spacing. I noticed only a few very minor errors.

It was a pleasure to read an adventure novel without all the irrational literary devices they tend to come with. I intend to check out James Walker's other books.

Outstanding. Very enjoyable.
