Description
Sand Doom is a science fiction story of a ship in trouble. A long period of stillness opens the preserved passage. Then comes another violent, but much shorter, blast of power.
Presently a half-second blast shakes the vessel only mildly. It must have come from a single rocket tube, the narrator judges. After that, there is nothing at all from the engines. Silence after rocket fire spells danger in deep space. Sand, by the title, waits as the crew's great threat. Readers get a spare, tense survival setup. Each small sound, or its absence, carries the weight of the crew's fate.
