Ocean Yoon is the pilot of a low-level Alliance cargo ship, fully aware that this is the only ship she's still able to fly after being a bit too trigger-happy during a mission gone awry years earlier. But when her best friend, Teo, is framed for murdering his wealthy and influential family, Ocean is willing to risk everything (including a growing friendship with the ship's medic, who is also something of an outsider) to track down the people framing Teo, even if if means faking their own deaths and seeking the help of the solar system's most notorious raider.
This isn't the easiest book to describe, as it's packed with lots of action and ideological crises that somehow are always in play and somehow managed to stay balanced. The plot meanders a bit, and the cliffhanger ending make this one a bit hard to recommend without a publication date for a sequel (oh wait! It's coming next August!), but darn if it isn't a fun book. I loved the found-family feel of Ocean's crew and the nods to Korean culture, and I can't wait to read the second one.
