My latest book, The Hard Switch, is about the crew of a small cargo ship, comprising Ada, Haika, and Mallic (an extractor, pilot, and engineer, respectively), and as I was thinking about this central trio, I started musing on “crews” in general. What makes a great crew? Which crew would I most happily join (impending disasters aside)?
So, here are nine great sci-fi crews. My only rule is they have to be in charge of some kind of ship, otherwise it’s a “team,” which is a different proposition entirely. Anyway, you’ll get the hang of it, let’s go!
