PG's Books

A simple fairly short Sci-Fi story about a spaceship being diverted by a rare natural phenomenon while doing a hyperspace jump, encountering aliens, needs to find a way to get home. This certainly has been done before but despite re-hashing this basic story the book didn’t feel old news.

Unusually for a Sci-Fi book in my bookshelves there’s no real military aspect in this one with the exception of some historical events forming parts of the background story. The “don’t burn fossil fuel” environmental finger pointers was a bit annoying and the way the uberadvanced 2nd alien race that they meet suddenly see the errors in their ways is a bit overly simplistic but forgivable.

Overall a simple enough, but well done, story making for an easily digestible and entertaining short read.
