Harpan's Worlds: Worlds Apart: 1
Purchase options and add-ons
Orphaned as a child, failed by a broken system and raised on a struggling colony world, Harp’s isolated existence turns upside down when his rancher boss hands him into military service in lieu of the taxes he cannot pay. Since Harp has spent his whole life being regarded with suspicion, and treated as less, why would he expect his latest environment to be any different? Except it is, so is it any wonder he decides to hide the ‘quirks’ that set him even more apart?
Space opera with a paranormal twist, Terry Jackman’s novel explores prejudice, corruption, and the value of true friendship.

Worlds Apart Indeed!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2026It’s all change for Harp when his rancher boss has no choice but to turn him over to the military, to pay off taxes he cannot otherwise afford. Things change for the better, when Harp’s difference to the majority of humans is revealed for what it is.
Without doubt one of the best books I’ve read for many years, and in my eyes a blowback to the golden age of science fiction. This is a book that many will remember in years to come, as it reveals an extremely talented writer. I noted that this is Book 1, so I look forward to the tomes to come.
An absolute cracking story.

G. P.5 out of 5 starsA good sci fi story full of excitement
Reviewed in the United States on 8 October 2023I enjoyed this book very much - I've read it twice since I bought it. This is an exciting sci fi tale - a combined coming of age and rollicking yarn in which a young man living and working on a lunar farm (not our moon) is forced to join the military - I don't want to spoil it but it's lots of fun and also has a lot of heart. Five stars from me. I tried to find any more books by this author on Kindle but there doesn't seem to be any - I do hope there will be a sequel.
