DEBUT Disgraced sharpshooter Ocean serves on the
Ohneul, the only ship in Korea’s space Alliance that will take her. She’s joined by new recruit Haven, who is equally shunned due to his profession, working with the dead. Not long into their mission, the Ohneul rescues Teo, one of Ocean’s few friends, who has been framed for killing the rest of his wealthy family. Together, they, the Ohneul’s crew, and a group of raiders with their own agenda must find who is really responsible and their own places in the world. With its quirky band of spacefarers, this will appeal to fans of high-concept, high-appeal space opera. The novel hints at romance by setting up an enemies-to-lovers dynamic between Teo and a charismatic raider, plus a love triangle that includes Ocean and Haven. It ends abruptly after the crew’s confrontation with Teo’s family’s killers reveals a deeper ideological conflict, setting up more adventures to come.
VERDICT Cho’s debut is a quick read with a spark of romance and a cliffhanger that will frustrate some readers but leave others excited for what happens next.
