Title: The back story to Eternity's End - but not nearly as good
Review: Star-Rigger Gev Carlyle found himself alone on a spaceship where all the other riggers had been killed by a space anomaly and unable to get the ship home by himself till he stumbled across someone else also stranded.After reading _Eternity's End_ by this same author I found this book a disappointment. Although it must be said that this book dovetails into that one with certain sequences. I nevertheless found it hard to warm to Gev who seemed slightly crazed throughout this entire book with his obsessive attempt to re-create a past already lost to him. Its easy to see from this book how much this author has improved over the years from this rather simple SF story to his much more rich _Eternity's End_ offering.
