"The Martian Queen was the Titanic of the stars before it was decommissioned, set to drift back and forth between Earth and Mars on the off-chance that reclaiming it ever became profitable for the owners. For Saga and her husband Michel the cruise ship represents a massive payday. Hacking and stealing the ship could earn them enough to settle down, have children, and pay for the treatments to save Saga's mother's life. But the Martian Queen is much more than their employer has told them. In the twenty years since it was abandoned, something strange and dangerous has come to reside in the decadent vessel. Saga feels herself being drawn into a spider's web, and must navigate the traps and lures of an awakening intelligence if she wants to go home again."--Amazon.com.… (meer)

While much of the plot of the story is nothing new, what works is less the focus on technology but rather on having to deal with several crises at once and not really solving any of them at all. Yeah, you've got an abandoned spaceship that may or may not be haunted but the real focus is on the people and their reactions to the things they don't know and other outside issues. While nothing is really resolved, my take is that this book is more about how people act and react to the things they can and can't control. A solid three stars. (

A good short story that takes place on an abandoned space station. It has elements of horror story, love story as well as being a good science fiction story. (

The Martian Queen has been mothballed for a long time and a few people see this a gold mine waiting to be plundered. But all is not right with the ship that Saga has been hired to raid. Her boss knows secrets about the ship because she has been there before with another crew and has an agenda that she hasn’t shared with Saga or her husband. This is a tight story that goes from space piracy to something else in the end. A good story and possibly a nice setup to a future story but isn’t needed for closure to this one.

A crew of hackers are engaged to hijack an abandoned star ship and things go sideways. The plot is basically the sf version of almost every horror movie, but the authors tell the story very well and the ending is surprisingly thoughtful. (

Strangeness in the stars!

Abandoned star ships that are more than they seem. This premise has been played out before. At this stage I am not interested enough to pursue a future reading of a subsequent tale. The trouble was I felt somewhat abandoned by it all.
It looked like a straight forward job for Saga and her husband Michel. Break into The Martian Queen, a sealed mothballed ship, and help bring it back online. Then other factors enter including their employer and the ship itself. Life becomes something other. There was a reason this ship had been placed away from all.
This novella has great potential but I was not captured.
