A solid middle-grade read. The adventure is paced well and the main character is clever and resourceful. I really enjoyed the Korean elements, which added an engaging new presentation of the sci fi genre. I am not a huge sci fi fan because the setting is always so predictable, but this universe was much more engaging than typical white guy golden age-era science fiction.
