Started strong but the characters didn't develope and the story didn't evolve. Was excited by the premise

I’m always down for anti-capitalist stories, especially when set in space. A quick novella that drops you into a story and takes you out again (without full resolutions) just the way a novella should.

A solid book, definitely an incredible debut for S.J. Klapecki. My main critiques stem mostly from small touches that could really expand the universe some more than it already is. We know plenty about the station, but despite numerous references to Earth, Mars and Io, what are these worlds like? Is mars terraformed? Is there a corrupt conglomerate working on terraforming mars? Or are they smaller stations?

I understand they arent the main point of the story, but small touches like this tend to make a story much more memerable if you ask me. 

All in all, a great debut, and I'm excited to see future releases!
