Chace is a powerful author who in this time of mass market consumer media writes sci-fi that still feels human.
His stories come from hands that have worked on airplanes, motorcycles, and racecars — from experience earned in hangars, workshops, and the clean rooms of one of the world’s leading defense manufacturers. He writes science fiction grounded in reality, with the kind of understanding that only comes from doing the work yourself.
“It’s like Orson Scott Card and Tom Clancy got together to write a Tactical Sci-fi thriller”
