Review by Synedocheny
Jun 3Jazz has lived on the first moon colony since she was a kid, she's a smuggler, and she gets a job that will pay 1 million slugs (moon dollars). The colony's police officer wants her gone, her nerd wants her to test a condom he designed, and her ex-friend wants to be friends again.
I read Project Hail Mary last year and I really liked it. This isn't as meticulous about the science, but there's enough ideas to be interesting. It doesn't use gravity much. The primary sciency thing is pressure.
It doesn't seem like a realistic moon colony on the social side of things. There's one police officer and few laws. Jazz skirts those with few issues. It doesn't seem as strict as a moon colony ought to be.
The main character is a bit of a brat, but I didn't mind her as much as other reviews I've read. I was prepared for a Holden Caulfield, but she's not that bad. The other characters are good, albeit with smaller roles in the story.
