Really enjoyed this as a short story, but unfortunately that's not what it was.

Corsair (Outer Pendulum, Part 1) is a quick read. The story itself is not bad, I just feel that it was rushed and had minimal detail. This story it worthy to read on a short bus/car/train trip and will certainly help pass some time, However I would not go out of my way to find this book. I do respect the courage to start the story off with dialogue, but in good conscience I can not rate this higher than 2 out of 5.

A bit too short. Not really what I would classify as a book. More a short story in a weekly magazine or something. Not too bad anway.
