Cavernauts

Novelette by David Bartell

Story of a search & rescue operation of a cave explorer beneath a mining base on Callisto. This was suspensful, but the degree of petty bickering between the two main characters, who had been working together for years seemed too much. Especially withholding important safety information for no reason I can fathom other than to add suspense. The final major problem in this story, and the climax were both solely due to the narrator's stupidity. A generic adventure story, well written but I really don't like protagonists who are too dumb to live. 1.5 out of 5.
