rated 4/10: bad but could be read but see below
There are a couple of extremely creepy characters. One small hint that they may somehow be linked. Two completely different settings.
No interest in the characters. An expectation that the senseless killings will continue. No desire to find out.
Twenty-eight pages is too much. I stop reading.
15aug22: Good grief, I tried to read it again. Absolutely forgettable. Before I found the first review I wrote:
rated 3/10: so bad it's embarrassing
I'm guessing that the author had a story in mind.
After 20 or 30 pages of rubbish I gave up.
There's an unexplained (so far?) murder, a space-piracy murder. A dozen or more characters, none pleasant. No plot linkage -- nothing making any sense.
Perhaps we need a few more monkeys hitting typewriters.
