Why read it?
2 authors picked Revenger as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Revenger is a ripping space pirate yarn, but grounded in solid science. Amid all the yo-ho-ho tropes it includes a gripping section in which a rag-tag crew of scavengers penetrate into a sealed asteroid tomb-world. They must survive perils, find what they're looking for, and get out before it seals itself up again. I expect this book will be considered a classic in future decades.
From James' list on exploring big things in space.
This space pirate adventure is a masterpiece set in outer space. It comes with a spunky heroine glazed with a touch of anti-hero. This no-nonsense tale rolls out in a suspenseful trajectory from the very beginning. It's packed with action, artistic unity, solid science, and a fascinating glimpse into the distant future.
From Su's list on lesser-known YA/NA with amazing science and futurism.
