Red Dwarf

Red Dwarf (Robert Stetson) #1

by Robert Stetson

This is the story of a Space Cadet named Clay Stone who completed his academy training and is assigned to Space Center as the first Starship Captain to embark on a stellar mission to a red dwarf star called Alpha Proxima 4.2 light years away.
The trip is a disaster and the trials and tribulations are many, but the mission is almost doomed near the end. The story is packed full of humor, romance, action and adventure. You’re going to love this one.
You will also love Red Dwarf II.
But, PLEASE, don’t tell anyone the ending.

I haven't read a book this bad in a very long time. Where do I begin? Repetitive,dry,uninteresting prose. The kindle version actually had spelling mistakes. Plot holes, inconsistencies and just plain bad writing. I can't believe this thing got published.

Did a high schooler write this?

I only stuck with this terribly written book for three reasons: I thought a high school age kid wrote it, it was short, and the tease of a big twist at the end. How did this ever get published?

Listened to as an audiobook, narrated by Matt Doyle

I confused this Red Dwarf with the Red Dwarf series from other authors. I powered through thinking it might just be a happy accident.

But this book feels like a dot-by-dot drawing that makes you trace yourself back a couple of time over the same dots without reasons, and that needs more dots and colours to make it unique or interesting.

The end twist of the book is surprising, but only because I didn’t quite see the point of it.

And by the end of the epilogue, you feel like the author doesn’t understand much of what scientists understand about space.

The narration is agreeable, though.
