Good, but with some problems
This was a very good space opera/military sci-fi short story.
The story starts with the author’s strength: immersing the reader in a unique setting without either overwhelming them or resorting to an infodump, and then quickly gets going with the plot, which moves at a brisk pace.
I was also especially pleased that the author posits Christianity surviving into the future. I’m tired of all atheist futures.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t give this story five stars because my enjoyment was marred by not understanding how the captain arrived at the conclusion he did at the climax, and because the story felt a bit more like a piece of something larger than a standalone work.
