The Vacuum of Space

By Julia Huni

It's a dirty galaxy and someone has to clean it.
Avoiding the wealthy inhabitants on the upper levels of Station Kelly Kornienko is bot-programmer Triana's number one rule. Well, number two, right after "eat all the chocolate."

But when one of her cleaning bots finds a dead body, all the rules go out the airlock. A highly connected security agent interrupts her routine with stories of missing bodies, and Triana can't ignore him; it's cooperate or find a new job. A girl has to pay the rent, even on a crappy studio compartment.

Working with a shiny detective beats a shuttle dirt-side, so Triana lends her programming skills to Agent O'Neill's investigation. Together, they find more victims and evidence of a major cover-up.

It will take all Triana's technical talents, most of O'Neill's connections, and some really excellent croissants to stop the murders, save her job, and ultimately, her life.

Customer Reviews

Light-hearted science fiction

I liked it. The science fiction genre could use more light-hearted reads like this. Sometimes you need a break from the 800-page, end-of-the-world space operas. This is a quick read that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Bonus: It is NOT filled with profanity! And some of the characters have morals! I gather not every reader agrees, but I think the author is funny - just in how she writes the protagonist’s inner monologue. Based on this book, I will seek out more of her work.
