This review is from: Exit Strategy (Book Three Inconstant Moon Trilogy) (Mass Market Paperback)
To quote from Christopher Reimer's review of "Fall Girl", book 2 of this trilogy:
"I find this trilogy somewhat puzzling. It's supposed to be science fiction but the big idea that should be driving the story is just background noise to corporate espionage that's going on between the manager working for a group of super corporations running the moon and the manager working for the feds on a top secret project. While the story itself was entertaining throughout and read more like a mystery thriller, the science fiction was missing from the science fiction. I'm hoping that the next book in the trilogy fixes that problem." It doesn't. The focus is still on corporate intrigue, and the real science fiction continues to be merely a plot device to move the story along. Vol 1 (Human Resources) had a lot of interesting speculation about what living on the moon full-time would be like, but by vol 2, that was over and done with. The corporate intrigue has a certain appeal, but not enough to carry three books, and the resolution is so unsatisfying that you put down the last volume more annoyed than anything else. This volume also has numerous typos, which I take as a sign of an indifferent publisher. I read all the way to the end hoping that we would eventually get out into space and resolve the core mystery of the plot (who or what sent back Voyager), but instead we end up back on Earth. Too bad, because this series had the makings of something a whole lot more interesting.
