Praise for The Deep Man: "In his first novel, The Deep Man , Mersault combines themes from Dune , Hornblower, and the Aubrey/Maturin books by the late Patrick O'Brian, to create a space adventure tale . Recommended to fans of Honor Harrington, Eric Flint, and Patrick O'Brian." -- Cirsova Magazine Praise for The Silent Hand: "Fans of epic sci-fi such as Dune who eschew the length and depth of such writings, but celebrate their energy and complexity, will welcome the more succinct but equally vivid The Silent Hand . This is space adventure and world-building at its best as Michael Mersault creates a story of interstellar war, a street urchin who comes of age to become a lethal combat force, and a military confrontation that unleashes unexpected new powers that place Inga in the vortex of universe-altering events. The result is an epic story worthy of attention by any who look for vivid, immersive plots." -- Midwest Book Review.
