Read a book a few years back I think and trying to remember the title.
The book was about a young rich kid who goes on a tour of the solar system and then he decides to go out on a spacewalk. He gets sent through some type of transport system to a mining area. He then gets picked up by a mining ship and gets put to work. I think it may have been a YA book but not sure. Any help on title?
The only other Jupiter novel I read was “Higher Education” by Sheffield and Pournelle - I should check out the other ones sometime. If you liked “Billion Dollar Boy” (which is a take on Kipling’s “Captains Courageous”) you should check out Sheffield’s “Godspeed” which updates another classic adventure tale
Or see me get my ass kicked by Wendell or one of the other hardcore trivia masters at Balticon…
