By Steve Hammons
The reader reviews below were very gratifying for me as a writer, and I felt it
might be a good idea to share them.
In
their comments on the Amazon.com pages for my first novel "Mission Into
Light" and the sequel "Light's Hand," these readers seem to have identified some of the storytelling elements I was trying to use and achieve.

Excellent
story from a gifted writer! The book was difficult to put down. I recommend it
highly and am buying a second copy for a gift. It was fast-moving with lots of
action. The short chapters made it easy to read and a lot of fun. The book ties
many relevant and cutting edge topics into an incredibly interesting story. I
particularly liked the scientific and government intelligence issues. Don't
miss this one!

Very
interesting story. I enjoyed it, but I have to say that if any part or parts of
the story had a basis in what might have actually happened, that would make it
a fascinating read that
I would not soon forget and certainly desire more of!!!!!!!! The fact that one
of the characters has a similar background to the author's causes me to suspect
that this story does have its roots in fact but can’t be presented in that way
for reasons only known to the author. Is he framing true information within a
false story because it's the only way acceptable to those who govern the
truth?? I will continue to search for clues to confirm my theory of its fact
based core. His second book is soon to be delivered and I'm very much looking
forward to it. –Ralph
As [Franklin D. Fields, Jr.,
Esq.] Esquire said so much better than I could, this was a great read! I
couldn't put it down. And now I've ordered the next one. And I'm going to see
what else Hammons has to offer. I'm glad I got this book. –CB
Very
well written. Always something happening. The story flows well and ties in very
well with the [sequel] … Light's Hand. The ending will bring tears of happiness
to your eyes. –Don
This is
pretty spot on to reality and keeps ones interest. I highly recommend it. –Jeanette
