What I wonder is if these reviewer gave the book a bump in sales at all.
Through Struggle, The Stars is Lumpkin’s first novel, and wow is it good. His next book, The Desert of Stars, is due out early this year, and I’m putting it on my “to buy” list. I purchased Through Struggle based on a series of reviews by other writers. As a reader of military SF, and as somebody currently working on a space opera set on another star system, it’s right up my alley.
