title: Strangers in the Gale: Children of the Three Suns, Book 1
author: Mr. Joe Occhipinti
description: <b>"</b><span>This book evokes some of the best examples of the Niven/Pournellecolony world collaborations, combined with the sort of imaginative flash and stand-out character development epitomized by masters like Varleyand Zelazney." -</span><span>Chaz Walton</span><br /><br /><span>"This is a beautiful well-told tale, interweaving exquisite depictions of nature and deep thoughts on destiny with thrilling airborne chase scenes and clumsy attempts at love... this is a story of personal and planetary transformation that will stay with readers long after they close the book." - Publisher's Weekly</span><br /><br /><span>This is one of the best written excerpts I have encountered so far in reviewing potential candidates for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. IMHO this novel - if it is ever published - could earn the writer nominations for some of fantasy and science fiction's best literary honors, including the Nebula, Hugo and John W. Campbell Awards. - Amazon Review</span>
