What you're going to get here is the proverbial rousing military action yarn. The ship got it's name because it twice survived to come back into service after all hands in it (crew and troops) were killed. Halley is in her fist posting as a Marine Drop Pilot and her ship is."Lucky 13". This book takes place before the climatic events in that book but after the events of basic training. It's totally worth it, just like the Netflix series.ĭid you read Terms of Enlistment? if you did you met Andrew and Halley who "fell in love" during basic training (hey it's the future, they were bunk mates.nothing like when I was in the army). Then I also found out that this (and another one which I also read today and will be reviewing shortly) was penned by a German author so of course I had to read the source material. I had no idea the episode was based on a short story but apparently most of them actually are, which is very cool. We thus get to fall in love with the ship as much as her pilot did and I feel no shame when admitting that I shed a tear at the end of the episode and again when finishing this short story. She'll find out that at least one of those assumptions is wrong. But then she gets a new pilot, who neither believes in ships having characters nor in any sort of luck. Lucky Number Thirteen is so named for her serial number and after a few fateful incidents, she's almost feared for the bad luck she supposedly attracts. One of my favourite episodes of Love, Death & Robots was this one about a ship that is said to be the unluckiest but actually proves to be great in the right hands.
