While much of the plot of the story is nothing new, what works is less the focus on technology but rather on having to deal with several crises at once and not really solving any of them at all. Yeah, you've got an abandoned spaceship that may or may not be haunted but the real focus is on the people and their reactions to the things they don't know and other outside issues. While nothing is really resolved, my take is that this book is more about how people act and react to the things they can and can't control. A solid three stars.… (altro)

The Martian Queen has been mothballed for a long time and a few people see this a gold mine waiting to be plundered. But all is not right with the ship that Saga has been hired to raid. Her boss knows secrets about the ship because she has been there before with another crew and has an agenda that she hasn’t shared with Saga or her husband. This is a tight story that goes from space piracy to something else in the end. A good story and possibly a nice setup to a future story but isn’t needed for closure to this one.
