Nice short read
It didn’t take long at all to read this short story, and it was good enough for me to go ahead and download the next book in the Salvagers series. I look forward to reading more! I found out about John Michael Godier’s books through his YouTube videos on Extraterrestrial theory... they are a must see for any Science Fiction fan as well as anybody with an open mind to the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Probably a 3.5 would be more accurate.
Finding an alien artifact on Io, Jupiter's moon, but also being under the stress of losong their ship to that dust behaving like liquid, was not really that great experience you'd expect. Not to mention conflict between the 2 men, apparently inflicted by that artifact.
But this is, still, am intriguing startup for the first novel in the series of The Salvagers.

Nice story setup
I liked the feel of this story. This background has me looking forward to the story that flows out of this setup.
I liked the writer's YouTube program, which made me look for his books.

Rescue at Io was an interesting short tale following two astronauts stranded on Io, attempting a rescue after detecting a radio signal. The narrative definitely kept me going and there was good tension built for such a short story. I'll be interested to read more books from this series.

Nice short story in the context of the salvages
Man, the only problem with this is that it is too short! W want more! Such a captivating universe. When the next book comes, I want to be the first to know!

A very thought provoking space story with shades of first contact. Although not top-tier writing, the story was nevertheless entertaining.

Well -written and the behavior of the crystal was intriguing. This is the first of the series that I've read and good starting point.
