Description

Geo is a maintenance engineer on a large space station in a backwater system. His job is to keep the station up and running so that it can be used by ships navigating hyperspace. He's to do that all by himself. His only companion for the last eight years is a snarky station AI named Cotora who he is constantly at battle with. He would never admit it, but she’s the only one keeping him somewhat sane.

Things change when a cargo ship tumbles out of hyperspace on a collision course with the station. With some quick thinking he is able to save both the station and the damaged ship, but there are people on the cargo ship which isn’t normal. He sends a shuttle to rescue them and as soon as they’re on the station, everything goes to hell for Geo. He is forced to play an AR game by those he saved.

Now he has to fight through the station’s twenty-five floors which are filled with deadly creatures and strange worlds. He was lonely, but not lonely enough to want this.

    I actually had hope this would be a space book ,but only the first few chapter's have space based story.

    I read up to chapter 15 before dropping it.
    The idea is interesting, the setting is nice and the execution is likeable.
    I can't like the characters. At all. Everyone is an asshole, no exceptions. "There is nothing to love here, move along."
    The MC in particular is the worse kind of protagonist, the man-child. The station AI is detestable for aparently no reason (she is an AI, why the attitude?) and I can't make sense of what appears to be the antagonist.
    With A LOT of adjustments this story could change it's genre and become some kind of survival horror that would make a very interesting reading. If you ever played the game Portal you would understand what I mean. (the simulation itself is an unusual form of torture and the struggle as the MC tries to escape would make an interesting story, the game parts should be secondary) The way it is, it's hard to see what the author wants.
    It has potential, but I really don't get it. Maybe the problem is me and other people would enjoy.
    Cheers and good luck!
