“Sol is Not Lost is an exciting novel of political, ideological, and old-fashioned space-opera conflicts with both action and debate, but perhaps most importantly, a great deal of fascinating science-based speculation on the transportation, equipment and civilizations of the near future. I recommend it for all hard science fiction and speculative fiction fans.”

“Sol is not Lost harks back to an earlier style of sci-fi writing. It is gritty, and has an almost old fashioned feel. If, like, me you spent a lot of time reading anything you could lay your hands on from the lost box of sci-fi under the 2nd hand bookstall, you are going to love this. The pace feels measured, slowly accelerating into an absolute page turner of a story which kept me on the edge of my seat until the end. As a non-scientist reader it felt exceptionally well researched and the technical descriptions neither grated nor got in the way of the plot, In fact the explanations added to the solid feel of the world and enhanced understanding of how it fitted together and operated.”

“Mr. Michael Scharen’s novel Sol is Not Lost looks back to the 1950s to 1960s era of science fiction. The novel’s plot, characterization, and subject matter strongly remind me of Robert Heinlein’s Libertarian leaning works. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, If This Goes On, and The Roads Must Roll come to mind.”
