Title: Not much science in the fiction, but readable
Review: The story was enought to keep me reading, I'll grant that. But the details were like some teenager's first attempt. Asteroids are equipped with singularities to create gravity, but travel from Ceres to Earth is too expensive. If you can create singularities of planetary mass, little trips in the solar system are not going to bother you.Spacesuit oxygen supplies are calibrated to the second, people are in no distress until the timer goes "click" then they're suffocating.The orbital mechanics are positively Velikovskian in their convenience at times.Some parts seem informed by video games, rather than SF.Some of the writing is turgid, with sentences cluttered with more numbers than words.I think I got this free at Torcon - I hope I didn't pay cash for it!
