Yep' Frustrating that's what I'm getting, I'm about a third of the way through Ghost Station and can say I'm enjoying it a lot more than its predecessor Destiny's Choice. The Wandering Engineers core driving forces of fixing stuff and Iron's and his AI pals is back on track. But also back is Iron's wilful ignorance of anything and everything that might be of interest or use that isn't a piece of equipment that needs repairing. People take an instant hatred towards Iron for no apparent reason and either keep it up or convert to his side all with out much explanation. Iron's continues to seem to have a phobia against taking any position of authority and seems perfectly happy to spend all his time and effort building up the resources for people and groups that are at best lukewarm to his goals and often seem to actually working against them, all the while ignoring opportunity after opportunity to take charge or at the very least find out what's going on, because he 'hates politics' or 'doesn't like dressing up' or whatever.The overused 'everything is about to blow up Admiral Irons to the rescue' plot hook is again overused so there's that.
