- After reading the stuff you wrote, I can see that there are a lot of plotholes already. It sounds like it could have been good, but I guess the author didn't make a decent job of it. [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] . Too bad really.
Not to mention Ilander's maths. [/QUOTE]Yes. From experience, every time a SF story happen on a big ship or in the army, the cast of character is going to be weak. Stories like those usually have a too big cast from the start and they never focus too much on one character, so you get very little character devlopment, they are never defined much more than by their job.
Of course that's not the biggest problem of that story. From the description on the back I can see different ways the story could have went and been interesting. I don't understand why the author went with such a boring idea. Actually, the story had nothing to do with the description.
