I enjoyed this, though there's not a strong sense of what is being worked toward or how, and I'm a little fuzzy on what the purpose of the station or Max's sector even was. But it was fast paced and entertaining despite the brutality, and now I can mark another borrowed book off my TBR!

Really nice. Love this look at the hope & despair wrapped up in meaningful work via collective action.

Black Dawn continues to dazzle, and I’d happily devour more from Klapecki’s Station Six crew and beyond.

“And so I'm not just here for concessions. I want the whole damn thing to change. It's not enough that they get brought to heel, bring in a new CEO and pay us a bit better. They can't be allowed to treat us like this in the first place.”

I’m super disappointed in this installment of the Black Dawn series. To be fair, I had high hopes because it’s in the series but also because it featured a main character who uses they/them pronouns and it’s about space, class struggle, and solidarity against capitalism. By page 18 I noted five places a copy editor should have cleaned up and was distracted by dialogue that added absolutely nothing to the set up for the story.
