by various authors, 295 pages, paperback
Amazon site
Overall Grade: B+
Okay, this is basically a collection of four novellettes that were available through a webservice. But anyway, there sort of follow chronologically the missions of this ship called the da Vinci which has an extra contingent of engineers on it as they go around cleaning up after other people's technical problems. That's right, you get lots of 'our planetary computer is malfunctioning' and 'we're losing containment of our explosive supply of whatever'. I don't know how long they can keep using variations on that theme, but we'll see. Amusing mind candy though.
