Publisher's summary

The company that Arya Vaii and Gunnar Schmidt founded to commercially develop Arya's time-stopping discovery is making money hand over fist.

Currently, their profits come from their use of the phenomenal physical properties of a time-stopped segment of space-time to build rockets. But now, they’re building their space tower. Taking off at a 30-degree angle from Eastern Virginia, it’s 200 kilometers long and 100 kilometers high. By placing the interior of their spacecraft - and its passengers - in stasis, they can accelerate launches at 15 gravities, reaching orbital speeds before the craft leaves the rail. This lets them put payloads in orbit for a thousand times lower cost than a rocket.

The world, and some unscrupulous people, are turning to Kaem and his company to further our exploitation of orbital space.

A lot of pushed inequalities

I live in the area where this takes place. The concept and referred science peaked my inner nerd. I felt the inequality and assumptions were very over the top and took away from the story a little. It won’t keep me from listening to the series though.

A New Angle on matter, brilliant!

Thoroughly enjoyed the stasis idea and brilliant underdog story . Especially how the “material” staid
isn’t a material but a physical state. Much like the fact that mater on the atomic level is mostly empty space but is perceived as being solid
Will finish the current series soon.
A great listen/ read!

Great narrator for 1-5 books

The series as a whole could use less re-telling of everything that happened 30 seconds earlier in the book, every 30 seconds. but overall very fun and unique storyline.

too bad I won't be finishing the last 2 books since the narrator changed

A weak sister, compared to previous books 

Not nearly as good as previous books in the story. Slow and boring. Don’t waste your credit.
