Ship of Fools is a good, though not excellent, sci-fi novel following a group of people on a deep-space ship wandering the universe looking for a home. Their travels bring them to a planet where they discover a staggeringly disturbing massacre, the investigation of which leads them to an alien ship — and even more problems.
While the overall plot is certainly interesting, it was more of the minor details that I really enjoyed, from the makeup of the social classes within the multi-generational starship to the integration of religion into the characters and the story. Unfortunately, there’s no real satisfying ending to the book, leaving me to wonder if there may be a sequel — or sequels — down the line. Overall, not bad, with some interesting passages and some occasionally beautiful imagery.
