Reviews

Zebrowski, George. The Sunspacers Trilogy. Borealis-White Wolf, 1996.
Teenagers struggle to find themselves in evolving space habitats. Routine young adult science fiction. I was hoping for better.

This book put me off reading for like half a year

Some interesting ideas, but loosely catalogued: definitely teen fiction.
