This is the third Book in an excellent series.  Bonesteel has crafted a future that is exciting and dismaying as it clearly shows the foibles of today are also the foibles of tomorrow.  She also provides hope with her characterizations.

Elena, former Chief Engineer of Galileo is back as well as Captain Greg Foster.   There is still romantic tension between the two but the main focus of the story is the collusion between political and corporate entities.  The colony of Yakutsk is the primary setting where two domed cities are embroiled in petty competitiveness.  

Scavengers are depicted as hardy pioneer types while corporate is shown to be sleazy and corrupt.   Considering the amount of space junk currently in orbit around Earth it isn’t a stretch to think a couple of hundred years in the future a living could be made off of all the electronic waste we generate.  Look at the tons of plastic floating in our oceans.  

Artificial intelligence is depicted in various degrees of sophistication.   It adds to the flavor of the book.

This book stands alone okay but I would recommend reading Remnants of Trust and The Cold Between for background and for sheer enjoyment.

I highly recommend the book and the series.
