SF Masterworks 64 - an unflinchingly hard science fiction story about a group of highly trained scientists and planet colonisers stranded in space in a craft that is steadily approaching light speed, know as Tau Zero in this reality; there's some focus on the crew dynamics, but this is mostly all hard science fiction looking at the (theoretical) science of near light speed travel. Not being a big fan of hard sci-fi, this was a bit of a chore for, also I couldn't but help think of a later, and very similar, but far more fascinating spin on this concept - Star Trek Voyager :D. 5 out of 12 for this, just OK read.

Diego Rincon Your comment equals to something like: hey, I'm not a fan of chicken, but I went to this KFC and they only served chicken. I'll give them 2 out of 5 stars.


message 2: by Mike (new) - added it

Mike Mohney I agree why read something you’re not a fan of and then diss it.
