Played: Eclipse Phase 2. Why is the space station made of meat allergic to us now? We didn’t do anything!

Read: ReDawn (Brandon Sanderson, Janci Patterson): second of the three novellas between the second and third books of the main trilogy. These are not at all side stories, major alien butt is being kicked plot developments are occurring! Despite how the other characters talk up the MC, they have no problem doing the thing or the other thing.

Words: FAIL.
