The Prayer and her crew have been lost in space for four years. Thomas is lonely and homesick; Zachery is angry and mutinous; Rick is just terrified. And all of them are really in need of some hands-on time with their captain.
The only thing holding them together is their captain, an aloof, sharp-tongued man whose methods of keeping up morale are unconventional, but extremely effective. But now the captain has a choice to make: do they continue their fruitless search for a way home or try to start a new life in this strange galaxy?
With a spaceship named The Prayer, I guess you’re asking Fate for trouble. It certainly seems to have worked this way for the hapless crew that was stranded in space four years ago, when hostile aliens teleported them into the void. So far, the captain has maintained law and order, everyone is still pretending they will find their way back to Earth at some point, and each crew member has developed particular hobbies to pass the time.
The captain is strict, self-disciplined, and not inclined to wallow. But after more than four years without a hint of where they are, never mind how to get back home, he is beginning to wonder if what they are doing is right. Four of the crew members are especially susceptible to his magnetism, and I loved watching them fall for the captain’s hidden charms one by one. Thomas, Rick, and Echo (within certain limits), and Zachery each have their own contribution to make. By the end of this first volume, nothing much was resolved and my curiosity as to what’s next is definitely piqued.
If you like stories about men lost in space with nothing much to do and only their own company, if you’re a fan of somewhat humorous science fiction that focuses more on human relationships than science or technology, and if you’re in the mood for an entertaining romp in space with four very willing men as partners, then you will probably like this novella.
