As Dirk and Nora's adventure to the stars continues, Nora inadvertently introduces feminism to a planet with the gender politics (and fashions) of a 1950's B-movie while Dirk struggles to fend off an old flame. With all this going on, will they still be able to hale the advance of the Second Saturnian Empire? Or will they fail, ending this series at book two? Find out inside!(Or, you know, find out when the third book comes out and kind of spoils the suspense by its mere existence. You can probably find out that way, too. But what's the fun in that?)
This is a fun, quirky story about a girl and her grandfather in space trying to save their family. They end up stuck on Mercury which has a very backward attitude toward women. Nora helps a few women see they can be strong and smart. This is clever and fun. It has great characters and is a good continuation from the last story. I'm excited to see where it goes next.
