All three volumes of the Star Svensdotter trilogy on Amazon UK for £3.08, including a free short story
Better known by me at least for detective novels set in Alaska
Follow Esther “Star” Svensdotter from the construction of the Ellfive habitat through adventures in the asteroid belt and onward, to the ruddy fourth planet that seems mankind's inexorable destiny. Along the way she'll encounter Luddite terrorists, military tyrants, grifters, drifters, eugenicists, murderers, alien and artificial intelligences… all in the pursuit of a brighter future and broader horizons. It’s science fiction on a golden-age model, when we all dreamed of growing up to become astronauts and the greatest challenge to manned space exploration wasn't the budgetary oversight committee, but just finding someone with the right amount of gumption for the job. Star Svensdotter has gumption in spades.
Also cheap in US.
