Tons of echoes of Clarke's 'Childhood's End' in this piece - "The stars are not for man." The action here was fantastic, absolutely gripping and heart-pounding from pretty much the moment they entered space. Great imagery as well.

Astra is such a richly imagined world, and this is a gripping story, I think actually my favourite of the Astra stories I’ve read so far!

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you've been reading and enjoying, it's been so great! I've been saving Phobia for when I head to bed tonight so I cannot wait to dig into that!

A tale of arrogant people shitting on a less-powerful group of people. That's what I got from that.

I don't remember Worf saying that but it's been a while since I've seen TNG! I like it though and I think it does fit nicely here! Thanks so much for reading!

That's because he said it in DS9, the superior star trek show.
