Review: A solid read, but would have been better as a full-length novel/novella.

I don't quite know how to feel about this piece. For a short, it's good. But it felt like there was far too much telling and not enough showing. I know that with scientific stuff it's kind of hard to show instead of tell, but I felt like there wasn't enough effort put into the showing and instead was excited with telling instead.Had this been a proposal for a longer novel, I think I could have stood with the amount of tell over show. Hell, I'd absolutely love to see a full-length novel with these characters and this concept. It's a solid read, but it could have used a little more visualization and a little less text to it.Still, give it a read and see what you think. I like it as a short, but I think I would have liked it more as a longer novel/novella.(posted to librarything, goodreads, and shelfari)
