Sci-Fi Short

A LAYER HIDDEN by Candace Robinson is a short story centered on a family traveling to a new planet because Earth is overcrowded. Along the way, another species begins taking over the ship.

Too much time is spent describing the husband trying to get it on with his wife, instead of focusing on the daughter's disturbing dream or simply moving along with the unfolding conflict.

Little to nothing is ever revealed about the invading species, and the action is very limited. The author had a good idea, but Bree (the mother) is a poor choice for the POV.
