An excellent debut from Elaine U.Cho who I will be looking to read any future works (obviously including the second in the Alliance duology 'Teo's Durumi'. Who isn't a sucker for chosen family in small spaceship crew (such as the also enjoyable Cascade Failure by L.M. Sagas). \
For me this is a 'windows' book I have very little knowledge of Korea or Korean culture and I relished the Koreanesque aspects of this novel, even if it meant I had to keep consulting online resources as t the meaning of words as it wasn't till I had finished that I found Elaine U.Cho had included an excellent resource for this at the back of the novel.
In a nutshell -"A disgraced Korean space pilot and her misfit crewmates are pushed into a high-stakes conflict when her best friend is framed for murder, leading to a thrilling adventure across the solar system that explores themes of colonialism, capitalism, and identity. The story unfolds with rich character development, engaging interactions, and a blend of action, romance, and cultural exploration set in a futuristic world dominated by Korea's space agency".
Did I mention there are dashing space pirates, I feel I need to mention the dashing space pirates on to Teo's Durumi.
