"Top 5 Indie-Published Books You Haven't Read, But Should." - Examiner

2058. As the struggle for dwindling resources plunges the world into chaos and "Mindlink" technology opens cyberspace to the masses, injured soldier John Raimey is transformed into a powerful bionic warrior known as a Tank Major to retrieve the King Sleeper: a computer hacker so powerful on-line, he can decimate government infrastructure, subliminally persuade the masses, and even kill.

"A truly disturbing book that also somehow manages to be hard to put down, THE NORTHERN STAR: THE BEGINNING has a solid story with good characters, and so much suspense, both plot-suspense and moral suspense, that it reveals itself as something far more cerebral than any giant-fighting-robots story generally ever is." - IndieReader.com

"I was treated to an old school, science-fiction romp . . . The characters are complex creations that grow and evolve throughout the story . . . " - The New Podler Review of Books

"I was pulled in by the characters and their interaction. Mike creates a varied cast of people, and, just as in real life, sometimes it is hard to tell the villains from the heroes." - Alex McGilvery, Celtic Frog Reviews

"It's not often that you find new SciFi writers who are able to crank out page turners on their first go. This is one of them." - FuriousFanBoys.com
