Cast out into the nothingness of space and abandoned to their fate, simply surviving would take everything they had, and make them all more than they had ever been.
Only in the fullness of time did they understand that forgiveness would be their only means of revenge, and a terrible revenge it turns out to be.
Mindset is space-based and futuristic. It takes the opportunity to explore the sort of dilemmas that will confront people who become “lost in space”, both technical and social.

(This comment has been edited, as it revealed much of the plot. After the pertinent parts were removed, a certain amount of rewriting was then necessary to make it readable. The substance has not changed. PHW)
In Mindset, Pat Whitaker reveals his passion for sci-fi as he takes you on a futuristic journey into space. Some unexpected plot twists keep the reader in suspense right to the end.
An excellent multi-leveled entertainment centre, from the practical workings of outer space to the total turmoil of the inner mind … A damn good read.
If you were to buy only one science fiction book in the next year, you wouldn’t regret choosing this one.
What a great read, I would recommend this book to any sci/fi reader. I couldn’t put it down until the end, a real page turner. Pat Whitaker has really done his research when it comes to space travel. Great job Pat, look forward to reading more of your titles.
I am in agreement with Ed White and I have only read a bit on-line, yet I am hooked, now in the process of buying it on-line to read uninterrupted. ‘Mindset’ is perfectly titled and does not disappoint in content. I see a movie here.
