This is definitely not a five star story.  Writing was fairly good if simplistic.  The story flowed well, editing was good, not too many technical blunders.  But the plot implementation!  They find an earthworm-like spaceship with some hibernating earthworm-like creatures who are nasty and aggressive and fighting with some bird-like creatures that breathe ammonia?  I kept looking for the subtle humor, wry humor, satire, something...But in the end there was nothing but a well executed idiotic plot for SF.  This author has an adequate writing style but should not be writing science fiction.  Honesty, it is juvenile and could be titled "Attack of the Earthworm Creatures in Deep Space!".  I could barely believe that he appears serious in what he wrote.  I kept expecting some campy humor here...But it seems that he is serious in his writing or just not very good at humorous SF.I know that I'll never look at our poor Earth earthworms the same again (sarcasm here!).
