I didn't help myself by accidentally reading book 2 (Zero-G: Green Space) first, due to a combination of confusing titles and lack of attention to detail. Even ignoring how much that out-of-order-ness messed up my reading, this still isn't a very good book.

There are a lot of characters. Events are happening on earth, on 2-3 space stations, and on the moon. There's science and politics and humanitarian concerns. It sounds like a good story, and you could certainly try suggesting it to readers who like more space-opera -type sci-fi.

I didn't enjoy the pacing and couldn't connect to any of the characters. Even more so than in book 2, a *lot* of page space is wasted with asides regarding the main-est character, an ~80yo man, and all the hot, younger down to *very* young women he meets, interacts with, hits on, reminisces about, etc.-- ick. Yeah, this book came out a little while ago, but still in this century. Read the room.

approved for the eARC from NetGalley but didn't get to it in time; read courtesy of my local public library.

This is story set in a space station called Empyrean. We have a station on the moon and china has one called the Jade Star. Captain Sam Lord is an ex fighter pilot and FBI agent. He is always taking risks which is why he is so good at what he does. There is a cataclysmic typhoon that hits Japan. Then it seems it was caused by something other than nature. There is a force that attacks the Jade Star and seems to be related to the other event. Captain Lord and his crew are racing time trying to figure it all out before all of mankind is wiped out.

The characters and world are fairly well fleshed out and I am looking forward to more of Sam Lord's adventures. It was an enjoyable read.

Hard story to get into just, not up my alley but I'm sure this book will find its way into the hands of sci-fi fans everywhere.

Really good book. Enjoyed this. Quite interesting ideas and a nice weapon that is unstable. Not sure on the premise of the really old agent being so heroic but still good read.
