Gravity's Heir

This book is so reminiscent of Andre Norton’s Solar Queen series, it made me nostalgic.

Helena (Lena to her friends) Lomasky, is the pilot of the cargo ship Aspasia when she and her friends find themselves in possession of plans for a gravity bomb designed by her estranged father.

I enjoyed Sara Bond’s mixture of political intrigue, interplanetary war, and a dash of a good old-fashioned game of “Hide the Macguffin.” I’ve had a hard time recently finding books that are hard to put down, so this one was a treat.
