Review: Ummm, maybe sci-fi but could be better

Clearly this was originally written as a serial with very short episodes. This explains why there is so much repetition of conversations and events throughout the story. When put together, the effect is to belabour the point previously raised. Usually I have no problem reading sci-fi, but in this case I had a struggle to maintain my interest. I can't say exactly why, but some of the characters just don't gel, or are just great big balls of emotion (like the angry engineer blaming the new captain for deaths, then going off to his own death after a short chat with her). That having been said, the idea of a starship being lost far into space is a good concept for a story.
