On the far side of the universe is an asteroid
occupied by a fascinating group of odd individuals of different alien races. It
is an outpost of sorts, at the edge of civilization. The novel is a round robin
of different authors taking part in telling a portion of the story as a whole;
a story of every day life on the Rock. Like Babylon 5, we are pulled into the
tale and don’t want to leave. Stuck on a world where they must live and work
underground, most have only one great desire – to leave to Rock.
The story has no true beginning or ending, as it’s
intended as a continuing series featuring numerous episodes on the Rock. I was
fascinated by the characters and writing, and was surprised the series did not
continue past this one book. The characters are three-dimensional; some that we
may love and some we may hate, but the authors are at their story-telling best,
and the Rock is one marvelous place to keep the readers entertained. The book
is a steal at this low price. Highly recommended for readers of SF adventure
novels, and fans of shows like Babylon 5.
