Product Description
When the United States Navy uncovers a mysterious porthole in the waters off the coast of Africa, it looks to astrophysicist Vander Case for answers, not only because of his scientific expertise, but because of the strange connection between the porthole and Alana Barsett, his dead lover. Though he initially refuses to cooperate, unwilling to open the locked doors of his bitter past, Van soon finds himself a prisoner aboard the USS Johanna and halfway around the world. The porthole is discovered to be a transportation gateway connecting the world of the living and the world of the dead. It is believed to have been created by “the poe,” the dead leader of an extremist cult, and is slowly becoming stronger with the passage of each minute. All fear that once it reaches its full potential, it will open the gateway, enabling the poe’s return from the spirit world. Vander, the only man who possesses the knowledge needed to close the porthole, decides it is finally time to face his past and deal with the present.

A sign of things to come, Feb 12 2001
By River Macoln - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Space Between (Paperback)
I found this first book of Ronald Damien Malfi, THE SPACE BETWEEN, a delightful start to the new millennium. An avid reader of modern science fiction, I dare to name one book that compares. The early hot sellers, Orson Scott Card's ENDER'S SHADOW and Harry Turtledove's COLONIZATION AFTERSHOCKS, fall short of the classic standards that were set by Sagan and Verne. THE [SPACE] BETWEEN raises the bar for all new authors and redefines reader's expectations. Ronald Damien Malfi is the brightest new star in the science fiction galaxy.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

This book would keep Alfred Hitchhock in Suspense!, Mar 27 2001
By Daniel Soeffing - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Space Between (Paperback)
I must confess that I grew up down the street from the author, so I don't know how objective I can be. But I must say that I honestly couldn't put this book down once I had started reading. Ron Malfi has the unique ability to keep a story moving quickly while not giving away the secrets he needs to keep the reader guessing. One reviewer noted that Malfi is like Stephen King and Hemingway; I completely agree. But unlike both of those writers, Malfi doesn't take pages and pages to "set the scene." Each page is the scene. I wanted to read every word, not so I would be prepared for the action to come - but for it's own entertainment value. Much like John Steinbeck, Malfi has a way of working every detail into the story - every tiny grain of information seems essential to the reader. I can't wait for his next book!

Intelligent, Creative, Enjoyable, Feb 28 2001
By Hunter - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Space Between (Paperback)
A nice first effort by Ronald Damien Malfi. I make it a point to read debut novels from up and coming writers, and this one is definitely my pick for January. Nice, well-rounded story with wonderfully believable characters and deep emotion. The relationship between the two main characters, Vander and Alana, was very nicely executed, and I loved the non-linear telling of the tale. Surprisingly, this is a love story! A friend of mine refused to read the book at first because she is not a fan of science fiction and horror, but after I urged her, she read the book and loved it. I was surprised at how young the author is to have written such a knowledgeable book. If he is that young, we can surely expect to see great things from Ronald Damien Malfi in the future. Consider me a fan!
