David C. Jeffrey was born in Riverside, California. He was introduced to the works of Ray Bradbury at the age of 12, just as the “space race” was capturing the imagination of a new generation. From that point on, he grew up on a steady diet of hard science fiction writers like Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clark, Frank Herbert, Larry Niven, Hal Clement, and Poul Anderson.
Jeffrey graduated with honors from the University of California, Irvine, with Bachelor’s degrees in Biological Sciences and Secondary Education. While pursuing a Master’s degree in microbiology at the University of California, Santa Cruz, he conducted field research for the National Science Foundation in the rain forests of Costa Rica and has published in several scientific journals.
He has worked as a science instructor, a microbiologist, and later as a cardiology RN for twenty-five years in acute care settings. An experienced wilderness trekker and naturalist, he has solo-backpacked throughout the wild regions of western America, including Alaska and Yukon. Now retired, he lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and continues to write character-driven science fiction novels featuring space exploration and real science.

A sequel to David Jeffrey's Through a Forest of Stars, Sun Wolf continues the Space Unbound saga with great aplomb. Commander Aiden Macallan and his crew of the Sun Wolf are recruited for an exploratory mission to the star system Alpha - 2 Hydri and investigate rapidly increasing voidoid fluxes that threaten to shut down access to Bound Space. However, Aiden's discussions with the acting director of the Cauldron, Margum Ebadi, further reveal that the fluxes threaten the shelf life of the voidoids and part of the universe itself. When the Sun Wolf is bombarded by mysterious spaceships with unknown affiliations, Aiden realizes that he must seek the whereabouts of the enigmatic Elgin Woo and seek his help to save Bound Space from complete annihilation.
A pulsating page-turner that explores new mysteries and newer horizons, Sun Wolf is an entertaining sequel that holds its own when compared with its much-praised predecessor. Author David Jeffrey introduces a couple of fresh faces into his epic sci-fi saga. He also provides in-depth backstories to his older characters and develops them further. The transitions between Woo and Aiden's narrative are seamless, and the pacing of the plot felt perfect to me. I also found the rhetoric spewed by the presidential candidate of the Earth First movement highly amusing, and it reminded me of a certain former president of one of the world's most renowned democracies. Overall, Sun Wolf was a blast to read. I think it is a must-read for sci-fi fans.
