This book is great fun and very fast paced. It's non-stop action right from the start, with a whole series of perilous situations and crises that the hero (ship's doctor) has to overcome. The danger, technical difficulty and vulnerability of humans living in an alien environment (space) comes across really well and adds to the tension. Will the crew and passengers survive the journey on their damaged ship?

I read this book many years ago as a paperback and had fond memories of it so thought I would give it another go.
Did it live up to expectations, well not quite.
It's quite a short story, well written but you get the feeling the solutions to all problems do occur rather easily and could probably have done with some padding out.
Not a bad read but very light

Just got this one from the library because it looked like fun. It was a quick read, more like a Star Trek episode. But good fun, all the same.
