Summary
Contains books one and two of The Stasis Stories.
A Pause in Space-Time, Book 1
Kaem Seba is a sickly and financially destitute young man with extraordinary math skills. With the help of Arya Vaii, a business student, he has developed a theory and an electronic device that allows him to stop time within limited volumes of space-time.
It quickly becomes obvious that, beyond the fact that time stops inside the stasis field, the volume of space-time in stasis might be useful for some of its other phenomenal properties. Unfortunately, the owner of the lab that tested the properties of their samples also recognizes their potential. His desire to share in their profits unhinges his shaky grasp on reality....
The Thunder of Engines, Book 2
Kaem and Arya are trying to sell “stade”, a piece of space-time in stasis, for its phenomenal mechanical properties.
Stronger than any known substance, it cannot not melt, burn, bend or break. It’s also a perfect insulator and reflects all radiation. Essentially, it can’t be altered; time is stopped within it. Kaem and Arya are struggling to negotiate the best prices they can while simultaneously fighting another company’s bid to pre-empt their patent. As if those struggles weren’t sufficient, Kaem’s beloved father develops cancer. He must try to help his family through that crisis while simultaneously attempting to save the company.

great story idea, but writing is too simplistic.
narrated weirdly, with the emphasis wrong in places where it seems the narrator didn't know how the sentence ended. Also a lot of sections are seemingly recorded with a different sound

Enjoyable story and narration
Loved it, was a little slow in the beginning but interesting and gripping story once it got going. Well thought out, maybe a little heavy on technical engineering detail but overall I really liked it.

Not *really* science fiction
I did enjoy the book(s) which were written very well, and certainly performed to a very high standard. But although the central idea of the book is a material that can only be found in the pages of a sci-fi book, it's not a sci-fi book.
It's a story of the development of that material, how it came to be and the business uses it mightbe put too. Of the struggles by the inventors to keep it away from the big boys of industry - and maybe there's a love story in there as well.
Good book, yes, but not sci-fi.

Young adult fiction
Good story about YAs trying to change the world. Obviously YA fiction but this wrinkly was engaged enough to get the end.

Great Listen
I loved this. It was right up my street. Not heavy with the romantic stuff but got on with the actual story. Well read for both male and female characters and no irritating mispronunciations.

Great fun
Great fun idea. A sort of a soap opera style story following the main characters and their families. Lots of science descriptions for those that way inclined.

So the science is good, we all wish we were able to do math like the main character, the voice actor got a few chemistry stuff wrong HC1 instead of HCl little L easy mistake to make, now to go make a mirrored box with a microwave and some lasers
