High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Voyage of the Space Bubble (also known as the Looking Glass series) is a series of hard science fiction novels written by military sci-fi author John Ringo and centering around the creation of trans-space portals known as Looking Glasses and the effect their discovery and the discovery of things via the portals have on life on Earth and off it.This series begins with the cataclysmic creation of a system for opening portals to other places in this universe. Alien contacts and conflicts (both friendly and non) form the basis of the story and provide an interesting look at the idea that being a hero requires more than just muscles and guns. In these stories you're unlikely to survive without a firm grounding in quantum physics as well. In this way the story relates to another of John Ringo's books "Von Neumann's War".
