First contact, duty and military responsibility are the recurring concerns of Brad Torgersen’s science fiction. The Chaplain’s War expands stories about Harrison Barlow, a chaplain’s assistant captured during a disastrous conflict with an alien species and drawn into communication that may matter more than combat. A Star-Wheeled Sky moves into broad space opera through rival human factions competing over ancient gateways and the opportunities they create. His collections gather shorter work about soldiers, pilots, alien encounters and future technology, often with a traditional adventure structure. Torgersen’s prose is direct and accessible, with moral choice and military responsibility more prominent than experimental form. Those qualities place the books near military SF, first-contact fiction and space opera. Read more Less
