![]() ![]() ![]() Things are not all what they seem on the lunar colony of Asteria. It's just more of the same old thing (one of the most common themes in sci-fi). They don't even go about it in a very creative way. The theme is one that has already been done to death: good-guy rebels attempting to overthrow an evil regime. A prisoner with nothing else to do with his time would be grateful for an hour's distraction not I. I did not feel as though I got anything out of this except an hour's distraction, and I really did not need that. It seems to me that every work of literature or drama should somehow enrich the reader, the listener (in this case), or the viewer either spiritually or intellectually. But I never felt as though I got to know any of the characters well enough to find them interesting or to care very deeply about them. The story does develop rapidly, so that is a plus, I suppose. So it is entirely possible that someone who particularly likes that genre will enjoy this work more than I did. ![]()
