Space adventures usually start with a spectrum of crew members, who meet their various fates along the way. Carter opens with a ship already well lost in space, the sole survivor black, lesbian Dr. Angelique Puck. The rest of the crew, met through flashbacks, are dead weight, now wrapped frozen in the hold. They had flown on a medical mission, following up on Angelique’s previous discoveries, seeking a cure for Rabid Neural Stasis, a vampire-like disease ravaging Earth. Her parents were among its victims, and she, in her own fashion, was affected, dumped in space by her Earthbound girlfriend for her single-mindedness. Can she alone save the Capacitance? What killed the rest of the crew? Carter skates on the rim of believability, but pulls it off.
