The Relentless Moon

Kowal cranks out another terrific story in world of Lady Astronaut Universe. It's a story that is a sort of follow up to The Calculating Stars and the timeline is parallel to The Fated Sky. Rather than following Elma York, it follows Nicole Wargin, a pilot who goes to the colony on the Moon after Elma's ship takes off for Mars. It's a really fast-paced novel filled with tension, espionage and personal drama. I really liked this book and can see how it was popular enough to snag a Hugo nomination for this year, but in terms of writing, I felt it was too similar to the first two books. Still, it's a very strong novel and an exciting read.
