Celestial

Is a mother's love a match for a devotee's grit? ... Amma runs a mining platform in the sky of Uranus, but after a family tragedy, she reevaluates priorities. Believing her long assignment has contributed to her son's growing depression, Amma plans a visit home, bucking official instruction. While earthbound, the family redirects to a Mayday from a ship of refugees fleeing a coup, but unbeknownst to Amma, one refugee isn't whom he appears to be and ruthlessly plots to see his own plans through. ... "Lace provides a lived-in, believable world, skillfully integrating technical descriptions into the narrative ... A complex and involving space adventure with a strong emotional center." - Kirkus Reviews
