This futuristic story provides an interesting glimpse into construction projects of the future when man discovers how to create and control wormholes to facilitate space travel.  The technical side was credible but not onerous, allowing more attention to be directed to the narrator and characters performing the work, much in the fashion that the “Alien” series of movies focused more on the human element of Ripley and her coworkers than the other worldly setting and technology which served as the backdrop.  Being written in first person as if it were a diary reinforced your sympathy with the main character and personalized her various experiences which became quite intense as the story progressed. Personally, I prefer more depth in a story but this one would appeal to teens and perhaps young adults interested in a fast-moving science fiction story that could be read in a day or so and doesn’t get too tangled up in a complex plot.
