Jane Kuznetsov, orphan of some cataclysmic stellar event a big fraction of a million years ago, or maybe several times that, is now a captain in the U.S. Air Force, the part informally called the Space Force. She is leading a crew of four friends and fellow Space Force officers doing research.She can travel routinely to the World Space Station to carry out that research and does so. Or to the Moon, where she and her crew set up a research site just over the horizon from home base Luna City and from Earth. Daily they court disaster though long distance back in Luna City.Back on Earth the Jane Gang, as they jokingly but truthfully call themselves, helps JPL researchers with a mission to the asteroids to investigate a mysterious group of space rocks. Meanwhile, the Glorious and One True Chinese Republic complain bitterly because they are denied access to the products of her genius. They kidnap her to work for them.They really shouldn't have done that to the woman their own military calls The Dragon. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Jane, an alien girl who can pass for human, has studied at the Air Force Academy, joined the Space Force, learned how to generate loyalty in others, made several Nobel-worthy discoveries and is off to explore strange events in the asteroid belt, if she can outwit some pesky Chinese agents. No contest. Will she get humanity well established in space before the menace from space shows up? Again, I know where the smart money is. The series is entertaining, but I have seen all the tropes in other indie science fiction recently. 3 stars. ( )
