Praise for the Hayden's World series: "Erebus is classic science fiction ...Well-written, with a cast of solid believable characters, Mr Falchetti has produced a worthy novella that will not disappoint sci-fi fans. " - Reader's Favorite, on Erebus "This short piece is a great story to satisfy those who are on the search for a solid sci-fi adventure ."- Long and Short Reviews, on Erebus "Reading Titan's Shadow took me back forty years to an era that thrived on pirates zooming through the system... A worthwhile read ." - Reader's Favorite, on Titan's Shadow "The author has everything here: a recovery, an odd crew, a hostile - apparently - alien ship, disaster, and an ending which...but never mind. Readers will have to find out for themselves. Janus 2 is a well-written story with enough technical and procedural jargon to satisfy any techie." - Reader's Favorite, on Janus 2 "The discoveries of the characters during their trek across space are wondrous, and the tension remains high, as danger potential always exists. When peril does strike, it's brilliant... This is a great story written by a talented writer. " - Long and Short Reviews, on Janus 2 " Bernard's Promise is hard science fiction done right ...What makes this story great though is the combination of hard science and great storytelling. The narrative moves along at a comfortable speed, never lingering too long in one place, keeping it all interesting and exciting. Bernard's Promise also has an imaginative plot that takes its readers into new territory that isn't the least bit predictable. On top of that, the cast of characters is first rate. James and his small crew are all relatable characters who have unique personalities. I found myself connecting with them early on in the story and rooting for them to succeed as they ventured into the unknown. I highly recommend Bernard's Promise." - Reader's Favorite, on Bernard's Promise S.D Falchetti is a mechanical engineer by day who dreams of fantastic voyages and far, far away places at night. He thinks that The Empire Strikes Back was the best of the Star Wars movies, and still has an original AT-AT from his childhood. He lives in the Northeastern United States.
