A review by theartolater
Orbital Cloud by Taiyo Fujii
3.0
This book was a major slog for me.
New technology for things in orbit become what is essentially a national/worldwide security issue, and this story follows the discovery and the science and whatnot behind it. It balances the harder science aspects with some of the discovery ones, and it keeps the pacing moving pretty well.
Why doesn't this work? I can't tell if the translation is a little lifeless or if this just feels a little too sterile and/or detached to truly make an impact. I really wanted to love this book, since the idea really pings my interests, but I just had a lot of trouble getting into and sticking with this book. I can't recommend.
