Publisher's summary

Disc picks up right after Vaz and Tiona's invention of an apparently reactionless drive in Tiona. Tiona and her brother, Dante, want to license the rights to the new thrusters to big aircraft and car companies, using the money from the licenses to develop a private space industry. Vaz, their scientifically brilliant but socially inept father, has little interest in such a project but is happy to have them run with it. So they set out to convince doubtful major corporations that thrusters will change the world as we know it. Getting these companies to join the technological revolution requires everything from the massaging of egos to slapping the uncomprehending in the face with the new capabilities. At the same time, they are trying to develop their own space program in the face of some resistance from NASA.

Then, just when things seem to be going well, North Korea kidnaps Vaz and Tiona. They want to force them to develop the new technology for the People's Democratic Republic, so it can forge ahead of its enemies scientifically. By providing them with all the equipment they ask for and then threatening one member of this father-daughter scientific team if the other doesn't work, they assume they can force the Gettnors to redevelop the thruster technology for the benefit of the People's Democratic Republic. That assumption is a serious mistake, because Vaz is really good at turning equipment into weapons.

Found it! A series worth your time.

Any additional comments?

If you are like me and an avid consumer of SciFi, then you are always on the lookout for a great new read. My advice, pick up this series! It has, a quirky main character, visionary speculative science and tops it off with the bad guy getting it in the end. All of that is balanced with a great performance. When you finish off the series, you will want more from this author...

Great read and a good conclusion to the tale.

The trilogy is a fine story with action in each book. The characters are well rounded and interesting. The story takes you along in such a way that it is hard to stop. Disc can stand alone but is the culmination of fun read. Dr Dahners is not a electronics expert so forgive him his errors and enjoy the tale.

Fun story

The whole Vaz story (three books so far) is very entertaining. Hope there is more coming.

A really engaging story

Dahners stories are all golden as far as I am concerned. In point of fact I own all of this series (Three books). in both Kindle and Audible.
I might point out that any thing he has in Audible I own. Kudos to Stephen R Thorne simply an excellent narration.
