'''Book discussion recap:'''<br>
The book has multiple points of view did it work? In general yes. Because most points of view were confined to the same location (the ship), it worked in this book. In other books, with many scattered locations, that may not work as well. Looking at you, Game of Thrones. It also worked in the audiobook, ne person said. It was not hard to follow. Plus with different alien races, you need the different points of view. And it helped establish characters, families, relationships, etc.
Ashby didn't arm the ship. Why? Maybe because it’s too expensive, maybe because it’s a civilian ship, or maybe because he thought there was nothing valuable on the ship to steal.
