I really enjoyed the book for the author’s ability to vividly capture the main character’s experience of isolation and the fear of the unknown. Female astronaut June begins her space career as a young adolescent by enrolling in the National Space Program at the age of twelve. Six years later, she achieves the title of engineer.
June’s story revolves around the missing spacecraft named Inquiry that disappeared when she was twelve years old. Now as an eighteen-year-old, June is haunted by the mystery of the spacecraft and is determined to find out what happened to the missing crew. Filled with easy-to-understand spacecraft terminology and the momentum of exploring the unknown, In the Quick is an excellent story for space lovers and for readers who enjoy the thrill of adventure rooted in a not-so-distant future.
