5 out of 5 stars *****
Breakthrough is just what I needed after reading and listening to non-fiction of various styles and eras. Michael C. Grumley pens a yarn of military and scientific adventure that thrills the reader with its pace and tone. The protagonists are humanly flawed and the antagonist is a hot-headed, power hungry military brass who reacts impulsively in a crisis. Outcomes are somewhat fairy-tale-ending but they do not detract from the entertainment of this novel.
Breakthrough is the first of a series. A sample of book #2 follows the last chapter of this narrative. Book #1 stands on its own as a complete story but there is plenty of room to elaborate on the protagonists with their livelihoods. The sample does its job with Leap, the next volume in the Breakthrough saga. I plan to follow up with it next.
