And The Stars Will Sing The Meaning Wars Book 1 eBook Michelle Browne

I met the author Michelle Browne in my social media ramblings. She's a snarky, interesting girl, which pretty much describes her writing.

I have read A LOT of sci-fi novels and short stories. I subscribe to Analog magazine and enjoy every issue of it. This novella could easily have been a miniseries in Analog. It's top notch sci-fi. She has an easy-flowing narrative style in first person, essentially a woman's diary of her unusual work assignment aboard a wormhole mapping space vessel.

As the plot unfolds, the vessel receives a series of threatening messages from an unnamed source. The threat: If they continue their work on wormholes in that sector, they'll pay the price with their lives. The mapping isn't going well, unexplainable wormhole anomalies pop up where they shouldn't be. Something is definitely not right. Amidst this setting, our heroine is falling in love with a coworker, very much against ship regulations. Overall, it was a very interesting, creative, and entertaining read. My inner sci-fi nerd crept out from under its shell to smile.

I found it fascinating they actually map out and create or repair wormholes through space for interstellar highways. And the various different alien races that interact, sharing meals, relating to one another, bridging massive gaps of culture and language to find common ground. My only complaint is that it should have been longer. I would really like to see a full length novel of this quality sci-fi from Michelle Browne.

And The Stars Will Sing The Meaning Wars Book 1 eBook Michelle Browne Reviews

This story has it all! Pirates, aliens, strange new planets and sights, a strong heroine, romance, and even bickering in the office. But this suffers from the same problem as most of the other science fiction on the market these days - it gets weighed down by technical details and drowns under trying to show off all its futuristic technology. It's good to lend flavor to a story and assist it along, but the story tends to lose my interest when the technology takes over as being the center of the story and even the starring role. But the story did have a lot of merits - the narrative voice of Crystal was refreshing and gave the story a viewpoint for the audience to watch through the eager eyes of, her other co-workers were fascinating in their alienness and how they related to each other, romance is always a good lure, and the pirate fight was every inch exhilerating.
This futuristic story provides an interesting glimpse into construction projects of the future when man discovers how to create and control wormholes to facilitate space travel. The technical side was credible but not onerous, allowing more attention to be directed to the narrator and characters performing the work, much in the fashion that the “Alien” series of movies focused more on the human element of Ripley and her coworkers than the other worldly setting and technology which served as the backdrop. Being written in first person as if it were a diary reinforced your sympathy with the main character and personalized her various experiences which became quite intense as the story progressed. Personally, I prefer more depth in a story but this one would appeal to teens and perhaps young adults interested in a fast-moving science fiction story that could be read in a day or so and doesn’t get too tangled up in a complex plot.
I read this book after I had met the author in a social media group. I did purchase it and it is a fascinating story. You can clearly tell that this book is somewhat related to her other story The Word Thieves. I instantly picked up on the similar things like IO from the other short story. That made me feel more connected to the book. This one is longer than the short story collection and I would highly recommend this. I mean it has space pirates after all!
On her first assignment after graduation from university, Crystal finds herself in a remote area of space mapping small holes in the fabric of the universe. The project is to culminate in the creation of a stable route from civilization to this far away out post.

She works with a variety of beings from other inhabited planets and one other crewmember from Mars – Jai. Though finding themselves in constant conflict in the beginning, their relationship slowly develops into one of respect and then, attraction, which is forbidden among the crew.

While working strange holes begin to appear where previously there had been none, and the captain receives threatening messages from an unknown source demanding they cease and desist in their work and remove themselves from the area. The origin of the threat is eventually narrowed down to a suspicious ship which subsequently attacks and pirates take over Crystal’s vessel. The besieged captain and crew must regain control of their ship and defeat the pirates.

Written in a journal entry format, this is an exciting space adventure with unique characters with an interesting reason for being where they are – on the back of beyond. They seemed like nice people and I became invested in what happened to them as well as entertained by storyline. I particularly enjoyed how the crew fights back to overcome the pirates.
