In the Blackness of Space Kindle Edition

Severely abused as a child, Dr. Grant Chapman is a multi-phobic computer genius who believes in NASA's mission to far space, but is too afraid to make the trip. His best friend—NASA rogue, con artist, and trouble-shooter, Billy Jepler—drugs Grant and launches him into space.

When Grant emerges from stasis, he finds the other nauts dead, a section of the ship battered shut, and the ecological balance of the Galileo threatened. His only companions are two miniature poodles and SINDAS, the ship's self-initiating, yet common-sense-challenged, computer.

In the blackness of space, Grant confronts his fears and finds a power that challenges the traumatic memories of his abuse.

An enjoyable and fast-moving space journey

"In the Blackness of Space" is an entertaining science fiction novel that also works as a story of forgiveness and redemption. It deals with such issues as child abuse but does so in a symbolic way that makes this novel appropriate for all ages. The Christian subtext is not heavy-handed, but offers possibilities for theological discussions. I especially appreciated the scenes in space and the design of the spaceship itself. Kuntz really did his homework to make this world believable and vivid. If I have any reservations, it's with the surprise ending, which revealed information that changed the scenario to set up the next book in the series. But by that time, I was enjoying the book enough to go with it!

This is an entertaining and quick read that was also a lot of fun.

This is truly excellent writing. I was blown away by the word choices, the constant movement, and the writer's ability to tell a story that is rich and intriguing without a lot of characters to work with (dogs and a computer?). Fantasy/science fiction are not usually my genre of choice, but this book made me want to read more of the author's work. He stands out as a great storyteller.

This starts off very strong, interesting and well written. It isn't a common storyline, but it's a good one and the main charactor is well developed. Much of the interaction with other charactors is stilted and not very realistic, but it fits the excentricities of the narrator and fit the world pictured through his eyes and experience.

Unfortunately, much of the final third of the book was contrived and poorly executed. The author seemed to be so set upon injecting an unecessary introduction with god that nothing else mattered. It was awkwardly handled, and didn't get any better. It seemed to skip along from poorly concieved scene to poorly concieved scene, and in its haste and excitement to promote an artificial and unrelated message it completely neglected all the mechanics that made the begginning so good.

Wholly dissapointing.

I enjoyed the twists and challenges in the plot as well as the personal development and internal struggles of our main character.

I purchased this on the recommendation of the author's family. I'm not sure which genre this novel is positioned, after reading I would suggest it as Inspirational/SF. That would rid the negative comments from readers expecting solid SF/F. Otherwise an enjoyable book.

Good story, too much message

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2015

A good tale of man's first interstellar slower than light ship. While struggling to keep the ship going the last surviving crew member finds Jesus. That's an organic part of the story, but was laid on with a trowel. Worth reading once, but probably not worth a second read.

Not what I expected, but it was a well written interesting story.

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018

This is an interesting read. I was hooked right off the bat, but then I got to a point in the story when it wasn’t what I was thinking it would be and I almost stopped reading it, but I decided to keep going and I’m glad that I did because it ended up being a really good story. I’m glad that I read this and I would recommend.

4 Stars.

Find God In the Blackness of Space

When Grant met God in space, you felt as if you were with Grant. The description of the interaction of Grant and God was very emotional. Hope there is soon to be a sequel. Love the descriptive language.
