Sungrazer (2017) Jay Posey

Outriders Number 2.  Lets see  -  Mars against Earth.  A novel concept in SF!  Way to go!  However, I actually like this novel.  Why?  Great characters!  I want to see what happens with Lincoln Suh, Amira Wright, Thumper, and the rest of the crew.  Imagine that – character development in a military SF book.  But there you are.  Some interesting angles.  Multiple clone backups for each of them with some potential problems in the transfer process.  An AI space ship which is not really developed – missed opportunity I think. The pace was spot on and the tech was very good.  If only we could get a more creative background plot.  “Can’t always get what you want…..”
