Review from Bookrated, posted on Amazon.com

"Authors have the ability to open a reader's eyes to the situation around them as well as the situations possible in the future. The trick here is captivating the reader to the point that the severity of the situation resonates to the reader. If you don't care enough about a character to begin with, when the big events happen you kinda just shrug your shoulders and say "eh." However, this is not the case with The Orphan Ship. The characters are woven so intricately together with the plot that it is impossible not to care about them, especially when they begin to see past their own concerns in order to benefit the lives around them. I will always be the first to tell you that fantasy or science fiction stories aren't typically my deal. But the humanistic interest in this book made reading worth it. This is a solid read that isn't just fluff. And for those science-fiction buffs, you are guaranteed an enjoying read."

The Orphan Ship, from first book review

"Walker [writes with] careful attention to detail and [has an] uncanny ability to create entertaining dialogue. . . . Combining elements of humor and romance with a strong theme of friendship, Walker’s science fiction thriller is well worth reading."
