Finally a good hard core science fiction story. Fast paced, good character development with really interesting characters and for the most part the story is based on real science.

Unlike the old fashion space operas where men are the main characters this story revolves around Caitlin Taggart, a war hero, who's fortunes have changed. The supporting cast includes a number of men and women who work more or less as a team. As with any team there are tensions; however, they put their difference aside to accomplish what needs to be done. This interactions are almost as compelling as the story itself.

The story line itself is a little contrived and which is a shame; however the telling of the story is really good. I highly recommend this book.… (meer)

Caitlin Taggert is stuck on the moon. She might be a war hero, but when all moon-born people are restricted from Earth, she is forced to stay there. Mining on the moon is dangerous, difficult and low-paying work. Caitlin's biggest wish is to get back to Earth so she can be with her young daughter. Then she gets an offer she can't refuse.....mine an asteroid and earn a fortune. Not only is the assignment illegal, but very dangerous. She has strong belief in her crew and, above all, she wants to be with her daughter. But the mission goes very wrong. Caitlin and the crew find themselves facing a much bigger problem....one that could effect everyone on Earth.

Wow! This is an enjoyable, action-packed space adventure! It definitely kept my attention from beginning to end. I like Caitlin as a main character. She's strong, independent and a good leader. Her crew are great supporting characters. The action moves quickly, and the story is engaging. I got emotionally invested in the characters...and was truly sad when some of them died. The ending is definitely white-knuckle exciting. I wasn't sure how it was going to come out until the very end. Great action. Some nice plot twists and turns. Overall, a great SF space adventure!

The cover art is wonderful! It's what originally drew me to read the book. Nicely done!

This is the first book by Jeremy Brown that I've read. I'm definitely going to check out his other books!

When the new US President enacts a travel ban on the Moonborn Caitlin Taggart is trapped off the earth, away from her daughter, desperate to return to her. When things get desperate she and her mining crew accept a risky job to claim an asteroid for mining. Then everything goes wrong, the asteroid changes course to impact with Earth, and Caitlin and her crew are trapped, their only contact Sara, the woman heading a small government organization dealing with the possibility of objects hitting the earth.

This book was fantastic. The action was non-stop and I most definitely fancast the movie I wish they'd make. The characters were well-developed and many of them--Sara and Alex from the government organization, the President of the US, and Caitlin and her crew--had their own subplots alongside the main issue of saving the earth and surviving the asteroid. There were moments of celebration, joy, and extreme sadness.
