This book holds your attention. It was interesting and fun to read.

It is about the evacuation of the Wolf II colony after it was bombarded with deadly radiation. The supply ship, Ceti Flat, was approaching and was the only hope to save the remaining colonists.

Very formulaic, could not get into it at all. I thought Ms. Downing's book Fallway wasn't bad, so thought I'd try another.

Not even close to the same.
