"You will enjoy this entertaining and intriguing sci-fi read…especially if you are a baseball fan."

"the perfect follow-up to A Mound Over Hell. The high octane A Fastball for Freedom is the Empire Strikes Back of the series and we can't wait for more."

— Victor Acquista, author of Serpent Rising
"an outstanding work of literary fiction…"
"filled with solid creativity towards what a world tore about by war, religion and humanity look like."
"a precautionary tale, like a good post-apocalyptic tale should…we see a world where extremism in either direction can present as a dominant power, even when it is not necessarily the majority view of those it supposedly represents."
"This series beautifully depicts a futuristic world where almost everything has changed… It is relenting in the best possible way…I highly recommend this to anyone who has an interest in science fiction or baseball. It satiates both loves in a way I did not realize I needed."
"Great plot. Great characters. It’ll really make you think. Just fantastic."
— Rick Limpert, The Tech of Sports, IHeart Radio
"It's like the Field of Dreams meets 1984."
— Geek Speak
"This work is action-packed and high-energy, but also thought-provoking and imaginative. There's something for everybody from political intrigue to baseball and robots. Some things in there really made me stop and think. It was like, get out of my head, writer. A must-read."
— It Came From The Radio (iHeart Radio/syndicated)
"The second book in the Dark Depth Series, A Fastball for Freedom will challenge and entertain readers while taking them deeper into the dystopian nightmare that was brought to life in A Mound Over Hell."

"a great read and thought provoking considering what is happening in the world at present."
— Nathan McConville, NetGalley Reviewer
