Publisher's summary

Contains books one and two of The Stasis Stories.

A Pause in Space-Time, Book 1

Kaem Seba is a sickly and financially destitute young man with extraordinary math skills. With the help of Arya Vaii, a business student, he has developed a theory and an electronic device that allows him to stop time within limited volumes of space-time.

It quickly becomes obvious that, beyond the fact that time stops inside the stasis field, the volume of space-time in stasis might be useful for some of its other phenomenal properties. Unfortunately, the owner of the lab that tested the properties of their samples also recognizes their potential. His desire to share in their profits unhinges his shaky grasp on reality....

The Thunder of Engines, Book 2

Kaem and Arya are trying to sell “stade”, a piece of space-time in stasis, for its phenomenal mechanical properties.

Stronger than any known substance, it cannot not melt, burn, bend or break. It’s also a perfect insulator and reflects all radiation. Essentially, it can’t be altered; time is stopped within it. Kaem and Arya are struggling to negotiate the best prices they can while simultaneously fighting another company’s bid to pre-empt their patent. As if those struggles weren’t sufficient, Kaem’s beloved father develops cancer. He must try to help his family through that crisis while simultaneously attempting to save the company.

Switched sick person

First you say it’s the young gifted character is sick and needs treatment, then you switched to his father. I was confused.

Most UNDERRATED book I listened to in a year!

Just awesome! How this book has so few reviews is a puzzle to me. If a person has a grasp of mechanics this book is easy to imagine the devices.

Good clean fun with hope

It's a hopeful story without harsh language or compromising situations. Many times during the book the characters are finding they have unconscious bias and have given unintended discrimination and are called out for it. I found it handled this social hot topic with grace frequently not found.

Intriguing

The premise was interesting. It's fun to break away from the norms and just listen to a fictional story and not be bogged down by the tiny details.

Cool concept, but slow…

Although I really like the concept of this series I ended up speeding up the narration because the book was slow. Still worth reading.

Way better than I thought

Way better than I thought it would be. Interesting story and well thought-out character dynamics and story line.

Not overly Sciency, but just enough to make it interesting.
Narrator did really well with all the different characters.

I’ve seen some reviewer’s complaining about cussing amongst college kids. I don’t remember any cussing. Though I suppose there could’ve have been the occasional damn and sh*t exclamations. But I wouldn’t consider these as profane.

Loved it.

Loved the story, characters, and presentation. I was expecting a more time travel experience, but I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks.
