I thought the book was interesting enough and I paid full attention to about 75%. I don't know why, but I lost interest towards the end. I love watching scifi thriller movies but maybe a book isn't for me.

The first thing that struck me about this book was the characters. Stupid as bricks, add to the fact that they don't take any safety precautions despite the fact that they should know better.
The next thing to strike me was just how stupid the plot was, closely followed by the bad science.
But that's all ok right? It's a horror book after all, so atmosphere and shit is all that matters, right?
Problem with that is that the book has less atmosphere than mars itself!
Bad science fiction and bad horror, combined with the power of bad writing, the scariest part was "to be continued".… (más)

It took me several chapters to really get into this fourth book but after I finally did, I enjoyed it. It's set 10 years after they colonized Mars in the earlier books so I think you definitely need to read those first to get the backstory.

Entanglement by Gerald Kilby takes place several centuries from now when the asteroid belt is being heavily mined. We follow the crew of the Hermes, a science vessel on a five-year mission to survey the belt. They investigate a derelict spaceship carrying a device that will make superluminal communication possible. Everybody wants it. It is an all-too-familiar riff on The Expanse series by James S. A. Corey. If asteroids are being mined in large numbers, should a survey be necessary? Would it require a manned mission? Why does it take five years? Star Trek? 3 stars.… (más)
