The reviewer who said this is less of a space mystery and more of a space disaster is spot on! This is my first book by this author, and while the concept and his writing style captured me, the execution of the story fell short. There was a lot of gore and world-building, but I wish there was more emphasis on the mystery and investigation. It's less of a "whodunnit" mystery and more of a space thriller. I feel like the synopsis is a bit misleading in that regard...
