Short Reviews: R. Neube

"Life in the Sardine Lane" [permanent link]. A story set in a future after World War III, where most of the survivors roam the solar system in huge 'grain ships' provided by an alien species, barely making it on rations. The only way to get out is via a scholarship to Mars; and the captain of one of the ships may be able to provide help to someone who needs it.
