A huge space station on the fringes of human space, SSS-900 is controlled by the brain of Simeon, a shellperson who relieves his daily monotony by replaying computer simulations of great battles. When a battered, jury-rigged ship appears to threaten the station, they rescue the people who are fleeing from the vicious Kolnari pirates. As the Kolnari take over the station, the stationers and the Bethelites from the rescued ship must devise ways to work together to fight the invaders. Luckily, Simeon's love of wargaming has unexpected uses, and he clandestinely builds his trap for the Kolnari. Will Simeon become the only thing standing between ruthless alien pirates and total destruction?

This is one of my favorite "shell person" novels, but the abridgement cut too much of the character development and other pieces that add so much to the story. I wish that there was a complete version.

Abridged!

What a great concept and storyline. Anne did an awesome job with the details, and I felt Conctance captured the charecters well. Great value at under ten bucks!

Great Concept, Awesome story.

This book was great. This audiobook not so much. It cut out significant scenes and left a lot of things unexplained. I’m not sure I would purchase another one of these without worrying that it will be abridged and I won’t find out until halfway through the story.

This is abridged!

Never in all my years have I seen a story butchered so much due to time constraints. The general gist of the story is there, but it’s as if someone is telling it in the third person secondhand. The book is great ,But this does not do it justice. The narration is good. Overall I won’t give it one star due to the memory of McCaffrey.

Wow this is scaled back...
