The Daedalus Incident, by Michael J. Martinez Synopsis: A steampunk-in-space/hard-SF mining-on-Mars crossover Book Review: I picked this up because it was an awesome concept. Olde Timey wooden ships, sailing between the planets? Sign me up! I wish it had been executed by someone who could write. The book reads like an outline that was never fleshed out. Copious amounts of telling with very little showing. The characters are indistinguishable, and it’s impossible to empathize with any of them because one gets the distinct impression the author never considered them as beings to empathize
