5.0

Suspense like a disaster movie. When a spaceship's nuclear engine begins to meltdown and the captain's seriously injured, passengers are grouped into several bubble-like life boats. The medical officer is assigned to monitor them from his own life-pod, and various dramatic situations arise. Suspense builds. Some might find the plot a bit formulaic, but most parts are very interesting and the author keeps it tight, and his medical knowledge adds authenticity. A fast, easy, entertaining read. Almost a can't-put-it-down page-turner.
