Generational Space pdf24 The story is fine as far as it goes Unfortunately that is not very far Such a tale is a huge topic whose complexities could never be covered in twenty eight pages although the author gives it a very good try The story is reminiscent of the 1950s 1960s hard sci fi stories that dwelt heavily on the technology required for specific future developments and how it could function to solve problems However there is little room for character development and without characters that the reader can identify with it s hard to get invested in the story on than a surface level. EBook Generational spacebar clicker I hope the author has written the story as a preview for a novel or a series I think it would be excellent for that purpose and certainly would attract readers to commit to the whole thing English Would you go with the ship leaving Earth forever leaving everything you ve ever known behind knowing your descendants will never see the sky the sun or the mountains nor feel the wind on their skin on a summers day That s the question this short story leaves me with as we get to follow the crew on the Ventura into the unknown Would I leave What could possibly make me leave everything behind I like the idea that humanity for once cooperate and get something productive done That struck me as the most fantastic part of the story as the science seemed reliable enough to a layman such as me The author convinces me that this could work that the technology is solid As I read I am convinced we could do this were it not for one thing The humans I am less certain of those There is little power struggling and virtually no religion or superstition which I find people bring with them even when they claim to be non religious and not at all superstitious You just have to dig a little deeper that s all Then I realise the people in this short story are an image of what humanity could have been if we hadn t been busy being greedy and selfish I wonder as I read what keeps them focused on the journey Why they all just get along Who decides who will succeed as commander Why are there no usurpers I sincerely hope the author revisits the Ventura and allows us time there this is a brilliant setting for a novel Or a series of novels space is big English Generational Space offers a brief yet thought provoking glimpse into events onboard the Ventura a spaceship bound for the distant planet of Proxima Centauri b Spanning a mere 22 pages it covers a timeframe of two of the five centuries it will take to reach the planet The story details two disasters a communication loss with Earth and the catastrophic destruction of a vital habitat module While sci fi elements are sprinkled into each chapter which is likely to please fans of the genre and the writing is competent I felt the narrative falls short in character development Without a deeper understanding of the individuals experiencing the disasters I struggled to emotionally connect with their plight which diminished the sense of urgency and peril of some quite scary events I would ve loved to have insight into the daily life aboard the spacecraft what the ship looked like the challenges they faced day to day living on the ship friendships leisure activities without that the story felt abstract and I felt detached On the plus side the book does touch on the ethical dilemma of raising children aboard a vessel destined to be their sole world condemning them to a life confined within the spacecraft Ultimately as the first instalment in a trilogy I see Generational Space as an extended prologue providing a promising introduction to what I hope is a trilogy with fleshed out characters worlds and relationships 3. Ebooks Generational spacex launch 5 rounded up to 4 English I don t usually read books in this genre however this short story was very well written I personally would not be getting on a ship that takes me away from earth forever because I have too much here on earth Good read English A 28 page story by its nature is a low content story The norm is for that content to be high concept and original to try for a mind blowing twist or even drill down to reveal a tiny slice of life for one character Generational Space tries something different taking the overarching idea of the human perseverance needed for a colony ship something often imbedded in larger narratives and presenting that as the focus for a short story What works There are several disasters to overcome so we get those twin doses of sudden dread and subsequent triumph It has a pretty inspiring message overall What doesn t work as well The standard novel format doesn t do it any favors A bit of narration introduces a character a couple of lines of dialogue explaining the biggest crisis they ve ever faced and the narrator informs us of the results The next chapter starts new generation new character etc The most negative thing to say is Travis has rendered character development completely moot there simply isn t room for any What s left reads like the chapter headings and synopsis of a full length novel The most positive thing to say is I would read that novel English
