pickThis story about a tourist shuttle trapped in a sea of dust on the moon seemed somewhat dated, in that the roles of men and women reflect very much those of the time. However, it was still a very good hard science-fiction story with a lot of tension, as the shuttle's occupants and scientists on the outside work on a rescue.

pickJagua traveled to Lagos in her youth to make it in the big city. When we meet her in her 40s things haven‘t gone as planned, she‘s meeting men at Tropicana in exchange for many and at the same time she has a relationship with a 20 yr younger man. And then things take a turn.
And that cover, it‘s eye catching

I‘ve not read Stewart before, but her way of introducing twists is astounding! I was suspicious of a few elements introduced early on, and while my suspicions were later proven correct, the whole journey to the revelations - and more! - was very riveting. Stewart‘s writing also has this slow, mysterious vibe, setting up for something dark and sinister. Great read! #192025 #1961
