  • eine gute, wenn auch für mich keine herausragende Geschichte
  • Ich habe sie direkt nach Skyward gelesen
  • irgendwie konnte mich keiner der Charaktere in seinen Bann ziehen und eine richtige Entwicklung gab es auch nicht 
  • Das Ende in Skyward hat mit sehr gut gefallen und diese Geschichte relativiert es leider --> die Aliens sind nicht so friedfertig wie in Skyward angenommen, da sie Abweichler einsperren und damit mundtot machen

Nice as additional context for around Cytonic / Defiant. Too short to amount to anything on its own.

Who ever thought I would be putting a short story on my favorites shelf...

Anyway this makes me want to cry. This is also one of the best pieces of science / futuristic fiction I have read...in a long time.

I would read a full length novel and several sequels if they existed.

This is the background story that inspired Skyward and I really enjoyed it! I would love to see a full length series about it honestly.
