About the author
Steve Grobschmidt
4 books32 followersAt a young age, Steve Grobschmidt fell in love with science fiction and fantasy because of classics like Star Wars, Blade Runner, Star Trek, and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Some 80s young adult series like "Wizards, Warriors & You" and "Time Machine" inspired him to write his own silly works under his pen name King Richard, just for family and friends.
Really, he's just one big unapologetic nerd. Gemini Girl, the first book of the Gamma Trita Series, was his first published work. It's been followed by sequel The Divided Man, with The Gorgon Void coming soon to complete the trilogy.
Steve lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with his wife Tamara and their rescue dog Benji.

What an endgame! This trilogy ended with a BANG. Constant high stakes action leading to a grand finale. I'm glad I got to binge this trilogy, and highly suggest you do too.

This series is great. It held my interest. I'm waiting for whatever is coming next.

We open in a sleazy sex club, the perfect place for Lorelei Ogden and April Vasquez to intercept sleazy former teammate turned traitor, Paul Tidwell. He knows the location of a top-secret conference that will be attended by Terance Tamoon, Ogden’s ultimate target. He is the Gamma Trita Corporation executive behind a secretive research project called Galatea. This ethically questionable project involves transplanting human minds into indestructible android bodies in an effort to create unstoppable fighting machines. Tamoon has a lot to answer for, including his unwanted advances on a younger Vasquez, and Ogden has every intention of holding him responsible. The problem is getting to him, a task made virtually impossible by his heavy security detail and ever-evolving itinerary—even his contingency plans have contingency plans. Presiding over an evil corporate empire isn’t easy, after all.
Once Ogden has an idea of where to begin, she and her band of outlaws, including new Ventran ally Dr. Silf, set out to capture and/or kill Tamoon and destroy Project Galatea before it’s too late—if it isn’t too late already. All signs point to former operative, Medusa, having been “enhanced” by the project, and she’s working for Tamoon’s side. She also has a complicated past with Ogden’s former persona, Mia Semm, which gives her more than a little deadly insight into Ogden’s inner workings, making her a most formidable nemesis, indeed.
Have you got all that?
If not, don’t worry! Grobschmidt does his readers a great service by providing a little recap before the action gets underway, and this is a good thing. Because once the story starts, it never lets up. Action-packed from the word go, we bounce from hot pursuit to firefight as Lorelei and her team peel back the layers of Tamoon’s defense to infiltrate his inner sanctum, leading us to a final, deadly showdown. Rife with shifting allegiances and ulterior motives, the characters aren’t always who they seem to be, and Odgen and her team’s very survival is anything but guaranteed.
Well-paced and highly visual in his descriptive storytelling, Grobschmidt has crafted a universe well worth visiting, and you’ll be happy to know that while this is the end of the trilogy, it is NOT the end for the characters—well, at least those that survived. As an added bonus, Grobschmidt includes an intriguing short story, fleshing out one of the secondary characters, but I won’t say who. I might accidentally spoil something, and I’d never want to rob you of the first-hand experience of this trilogy’s thrill ride. What are you waiting for? Get your ticket now!

Wow, just wow!
Steve Grobschmidt - Author has put together something very impressive here with the Gamma Trita Trilogy. I burned through the three novellas in just a few sittings while listening on audiobook. They very much have the feel of a cool computer game come to life, with plenty of depth to the story, so much so I am definitely going back to read these at some point. I had several vibes that seemed to be influences when listening, particularly Blade Runner, the game Mass Effect and to some extent the film Total Recall.
I think the story really came into its own in the second and third installment, the narration particularly went from strength to strength. Initially the narration felt perhaps a touch stilted but soon picked up after just a few chapters. Frankly though this may just be me as a Brit getting used to the North American accent, as it's not one I come across much.
I really liked the action sequences, which were tense and flowed very well. The dialogue was very sharp in places but for me perhaps could have been edited down to some extent to keep up the pace. That's really though a personal preference I would say, as opposed to something everyone might notice.
As I said above, the series very much had the feel of a computer game come to life, and it would make an excellent tv series. I think in this respect, though I could use my imagination to visualise the story, perhaps a little more description would have worked well to set some of the scenes. But again that is probably more my personal preference than anything.
Overall the trilogy was excellent and I very much look forward to more from Steve. An easy 4.5 ⭐'s from me, dinging it the half as there were a few quibbles I had, but as I said these were more personal preference, e.g. a wish for more description, which may not be an issue for others.

The Gorgon Void was a fantastic conclusion to the Gamma Trita trilogy. Action packed and filled with intrigue, it had me turning pages late into the night.
