I loved writing this.
And I also fell in love with Gabriel Beckett, who I will just have to write about again.
I'm a big fan of Agatha Christie and especially "Murder on the Orient Express." I thought, how can I create something similar but in a fresh new environment? SPACE of course. To my knowledge Christie never approached the sci fi genre!

Murder on the Orion Express is 14,400 words long and is about a 20 minute read.
