This SF space opera keeps us guessing.When a heroine bred for long space hauling finds herself banished to the normal world of short hauling, she has to work to fit in. In fact, she has to work to find a job. Regular ship crews don't want a "Crewkin" because they're different.Then when she finds one to take her on, catastrophe strikes. A spaceship engine that her new ship is hauling springs to life (or turns itself on). It takes over and even molds the old ship to its specifications around the crew!And we thought HAL was scary!But not to worry. There's a romance and space walk and lots of heroics involved. Some of the characters seem a little thin but the pacing's good. I enjoyed the ride. Er, read.
