Space Junque hooked me right into the story and the world; I liked how the author created a future both recognizable and horrifying to a reader of today. It reminded me of the works of Sheri Tepper, which to those who know my reading taste is high praise indeed. I didn't find it to be as complex and intricate as Tepper's longer works, but the type of world and the issues characters faced were similar, especially the kind of creepy paranormal element, which I won't spoil here. The romance made me happy; there's a satisfying, hopeful dynamic when romance happens against a background of violence and uncertainty, and Rigel got that balance just right for me. I'm looking forward to continuing with the next book.
