    A terrible book with an unbelievable/unlikely ridiculous premise. Egregious plot holes which the author attempts to paper over with the thinnest of word camouflage. Bad guys with Scooby-Doo level strategy, thwarted by equally inane counters. Empty unbelievable characters. The female character could be replaced with a plank of wood and a post-it note for all the agency she displays. The rest of the characters are one-dimensional and painted with a thin veneer of old-timey stereotype and racism. Nothing malicious or intentional, just outdated and wrongheaded. Also the unnecessary/spurious romance story really distracted from the story rather than adding to it.

    A unique take on sci fi. Murray Leinster is a fantastic pulp fiction sci fi writer. This takes a unique approach to the idea of making a space station from the time period that such ideas were still a pipe dream. Leinster fairly tastefully portrayed Native Americans, little people, and career women in an era of mass ableism, racism, and sexism. All in all, rather progressive for its time. I liked that the main character was flawed and very human, and I could easily see this becoming a movie or short tv series.
