The Russia Shift by Antony Johnston

2.0

A police procedural set aboard a space station in the nearish future. Shady politicians, overworked cops, a station starkly split along class lines, and the glimmers of a conspiracy...great! The characters and mystery are solid, and the premise is exactly what I love, but the art. The ART. It's ugly, doesn't convey movement well, and isn't consistent--I could hardly tell one character from another. If I can, I'll probably read more of this, though, because I really like Klem (the badass old lady cop who's like a bull in a china shop).
