Allen Steele’s Coyote is a solid space-colonization novel, earning four stars. It feels like a frontier story set in space, following a group of dissidents who hijack the starship Alabama to start a new, fragile society on the moon Coyote. The book’s episodic structure comes from Steele's mastery at short stories and add a richness to the characters I suspect will resurface. Its frighteningly realistic politics, straightforward writing, and strong sense of survival make for a solid read. It reminds me of Julian May’s Many-Colored Land, where misfits escape through a time gate into a complex, alien-ruled Pliocene Europe. Coyote is more grounded and political buts Steele's writing of exploration on a new frontier is reminiscent of May . It’s a great pick if your looking for a series to escape into during this time of world crisis.
