This is Keith at 30 seconds sci-fi This time I'm gonna tell you about Night Flyers by Oh George R. R. Martin I Remember reading this novella when I was young back in the 80s probably and I remember being unimpressed with it I reread it again and I feel the same way unimpressed with it. I didn't think it was particularly well written Characters weren't exciting the story wasn't terribly engaging and it was Very derivative obviously very derivative of alien and Dark Star both of which were written by Dan O'Bannon the particular parallel being that both movies involved a Ship's central computer and an alien the computer was even named mother, which is significant to the Night Flyers Just not not a good book and the movie from 1987 wasn't good either Catherine Mary Stewart looked amazing in it, but that's the only thing that had going for it Thank you for watching this week Please become a sponsor follow the links on screen and in the description below where you can pledge a monthly amount or make a One-time donation Every little bit helps.
