In this space adventure with a disjointed plot, the main character is Amadis who awakes alone on a space mission. Her fellow crew memebres have not survived, and she is left with Capella, an artificial intelligence, for six years without enough resources to survive. As her condition deteriorates, she hears noises of a possible stowaway, speculates about sabotage, and reminisces about her past, especially her troubled relationship with her brother. I found the plot and time shifts difficult to follow and slow-moving. ( ) ***WHO SUCKED ME IN*** Tori Morrow on YouTube in their Science Fiction in One Sitting | 8 Short Recommendations video published on 25 aug. 2020 Short stories I can read in one sitting but also science fiction that actually work in a short book?! How can I not get sucked in. Bit of a shame that I can't seem to get most of them in paperback. I actually like to buy novella's even though they are a bit pricey. I don't know I'm always a bit worried that if I don't buy them in physical form, they will somehow disappear from my memory even if I enjoyed them so much. Also novella's are perfect to recommend to non-readers! Dream Houses is an incredibly eerie novella. Something goes wrong on a cargo run between Earth and another planet, and Amadis is the only crew member who wakes from cryo-sleep (or whatever it’s called in this story). For company, she has the ship’s A.I., Capella, a mystery about what is (or isn’t) in the ship’s hold, and her memories of her life back on earth. This is definitely darker than I am comfortable with, but it was interesting (for want of a less overused word) and I really like Valentine’s prose. I’m glad I read it. Novella about a deep-space traveler with a troubled past who wakes up too early—there aren’t enough supplies to last her—and with all her crewmates dead, including the captain she worshipped/was fascinated by. Her only companion is the ship’s AI, which has quite a mind of its own … and maybe something else. This is a psychological thriller, where the details of the narrator’s past come out slowly, and it’s a tough read (slow starvation and cannibalism feature heavily) with an ambiguous ending. I’m not sad I read it but I like Valentine’s other work better. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

It takes a certain type to crew a ship that drops you seven years at a time into the Deep. Kite-class cargo ships like Menkalinan get burned-out veterans, techs who've been warned off-planet, medics who weren't much good on the ground. The Gliese-D run isn't quite the end of the line, but it's getting there. No cachet, no rewards, no future; their trading posts get Kites full of cargo that the crew never ask questions about, because if it's headed for Gliese-D, it's probably something nobody wanted. A year into the Deep, Amadis Reyes wakes up. Menkalinan is sounding the alarm; something's wrong. The rest of the crew are dead. That's not even what's wrong.
