![]() It lends the book a slightly superficial and lightweight quality.īy far the most disappointing aspect of the book is the characterisation everything is totally one dimensional. It’s frustrating as it seems to hint that the author has put some thought into the science part of the science fiction but that this never really makes it to the page. What would happen to the diaspora if we sent out generation ships, some points about how we might harvest comets but none of it is explored with any great detail. ![]() On the face of it there are some interesting themes in The Silver Ships. The meat of the book is concerned with the interactions between the crew of the deactivated ship, their artificial intelligence and our hero and their quest to return to their home planet. We learn of the ships when a deactivated ship attacked by them drifts into the vicinity of our hero who, of course, rescues them. The Silver Ships is a tale of a threat to mankind from the titular silver ships. ![]()
