...In-Fall is a brief tale but, under a rather brutal plot, does include a lot of food for thought. It is one of those stories where a science fiction concept allows the author to explore a human topic from a different angle. It is very effective. Given the subject, it might not be everybody's cup of tea, but I thought it was very well done.

Full Random Comments review. ( )

A space-ship is heading toward a black hole. On the ship are two people, one an interrogator the other a prisoner. See the prisoner thinks he’s going to go to paradise for the cause if he dies a martyr. The side running the ship have figured out that it will never actually cross the event horizon. It will just asymptotically approach, meaning they will never die. I actually had a hard time with the story because this seemed like a very ineffective and expensive way to question someone. But then, so is Guantanamo Bay, so what do I know? ( )
