You've told me yourself that you blacked out during the attackand came to on the lifeboat, with no recollection of how you got there. "This is war, Granthan.

You know better than most the risk I'd be running if you were allowed to pass the patrol line." However, his encounters and skills have given him power and insight into new technology, so he desperately tries to stay alive to get back home and do it.

A nifty little short novel of the slightly paranoid not sure what is going on action variety. 3.5 out of 5
