Driving the Deep by Suzanne Palmer
4.0
A solid piece of straight-up SF. Bonus for setting nearly all of it under the ice on Enceladus.
The overall attitude reminds me of Sandman Slim, which is good.
Fergus never does too much achieving at once, although maybe he's a little too good at guessing what's going on. And is it a coincidence that MacInnis is not so far from MacGyver?
I like cats, but what did this one add?
If there's a vote for neutral pronouns, I could support ey, em, eir. Like singular they only without the confusion.
This time Palmer did a better job of keeping Fergus hydrated. Last time he just moaned about it but hardly ever actually drank anything.
The setting was good, but I would have liked some handwaving about what all the machinery on Enceladus uses for power.
And I liked the explanation of Dr. Kenning's actions.
I'll read this author anytime.
