Lost in Transmission by Wil McCarthy
4.0
McCarthy, Wil. Lost in Transmission. Queendom of Sol No. 3. Spectra, 2004.
This is a close sequel to The Wellstone and continues the development of characters and plot issues introduced there. The series loses a little steam in this one, although it does have some interesting things to say about the difficult economics and politics of setting up a high-tech colony in a hostile environment with a population that expects technological immortality and post-scarcity to be easily achieved. Recommended if you liked the first two. 3.5 stars.
