I was privileged to read this one just before its official publication, I think it is the best of her stories yet, and that is saying quite a bit!
Julia has several series going, and it was the Space Janitor collection that I discovered first. Those are funny, intriguing, and enjoyable: cozy mysteries in space, with a spunky young woman as heroine.
The Earth Concurrence appears at first to be more of the same, situated in the same time and space, with a spunky young woman in the leading role. Like Triana, the nominal Space Janitor, Siti comes from a privileged background, and like Triana, she has only one parent. But this story is more serious and more thoughtful. Of course, there are interesting characters and goofy situations, and some adventurous action.
This is the first part of a series, too, and I can hardly wait for more.
