This is the first time I have read anything by Dennis E. Taylor, and I am impressed!
This is classic Sci-Fi at its finest.
I won't just repeat the description, but this is basically a story of Earth becoming unlivable so ships are sent out to colonize the universe. Of course things do not turn out as planned, and this is a story about humanity's will to live, and the extent it will go to to do so.
There isn't much character development, there isn't time in a story this short... but it uses familiar archetypes and characters to give you insight into their thoughts... into their situation. So the characters are already fully developed, allowing the story to be told and their motivations understood.
I enjoyed this immensely!
