Red Noise

Gang violence on an isolated space station with echoes of Kurisawa, Tarantino and classic westerns. Our protagonist (only ever referred to as ‘The Miner' in a classic nod to its source material) is a loner and an introvert, but still has to come to port to sell her produce from time to time. She also happens to be ex-military special forces. When the place she lands turns out to be riven by a gangland feud and is constantly trying to cheat her she ends up taking on everyone.

There is nothing especially clever in this story, it is not going for literary prizes or unique plotlines. It is however incredibly fun. If you want to read about a big fight on a space station this is the book for you. Essentially Kill Bill on a space station. Silly fun.
