Good short story, not great. It is a hour to hour and half read (at least for me). The first half is fast paced, and somewhat enjoyable. The problem comes in the second half of the story, I'll not spoil it here. But the ending has problems. If you need something fast to read, and is a pretty good story, and you like SCI-FI (old school pre-moon landing) Sci-Fi. Read this, it's not bad. I am going to give it a 3 out of 5 stars, just because I don't think the ending works. Or at least works as it was intended to.
