Redline the Stars

Co-authored by P.M. Griffin who is primarily responsible for the many deviations from Norton’s original “Solar Queen” series, “Redline the Stars” is but a second-rate shadow of Ms. Norton’s beloved “Solar Queen” characters. The plot involves a new character, “Rael Cofort” and reads more like a love story than science fiction. There seems to be nothing that character Cofort is not capable of doing and doing “perfectly”. While superficially about a planetary disaster in the making, the story is for the most part about the growing relationship between hard-nosed “Captain Jellico” and character Cofort. Overall, “Redline” was a very disappointing read.
