“Killgrace and the Singular Situation” is science fiction
for the thinking person.
Part of a series of science fiction and historical stories
called Killgrace, the novella revolves around a team of scientists who are
trying to rescue planet-sized aliens from a black hole while aboard a
spaceship.
The cast of characters, consisting mostly of scientists and
space aviation personnel, are likeable and interesting, especially the two
protagonists, Professor Susan Wells and the humanoid Cet Killgrace.
The plot is paced well, and the various problems the
scientists must solve are realistic (from a scifi standpoint) and do not feel
forced.
It is worth noting that this novella is firmly rooted in
science.
Physics concepts, such as the Coriolis effect, are
referenced and used to help the scientists come up with a solution for rescuing
the gigantic aliens.
Although the novella is heavy on the science, it is by no
means a physics textbook, and author does include fictitious creations, such as
a tugboat-like ship called the Renshaw.
The novella’s basis in science and the elegant ways in which
the scientists attempt to solve the problem make “Killgrace and the Singular Situation”
a recommended read for any serious science fiction fan.
