When I’m not caring for my baby daughter, Alis, or running a super-secret spy mission for the Consortium forces, I’m reading science fiction!
Each month I’ll release a new pick with review, a book I’ve personally enjoyed"

Title: The Vacuum of Space
Author: Julia Huni
Series: Space Janitor, Book #1
Commander Geri Rochelle here. I’m back with another review. Sorry it’s been awhile, but I’ve been away on a mission of strategic importance to the Consortium. But I’m back now, and have had some time to catch up on my sci-fi reading.
If you want a fun read, do pick up the first in the series Space Janitor, Book 1. While it’s not pure Space Opera (and doesn’t have the typical pew-pew), it’s more of a Space Mystery, it’s got lots of tongue-in-cheek snark. The characters are engaging and varied, and the mysteries have plenty of surprises and, dare I say it… giggles. Even the romance didn’t get annoying!
Despite my durasteel exterior, I’m a sucker for an underdog. This was the perfect distraction between missions. And there’s even a box set of the whole series, which you can bet I’m picking up as soon as I’ve located the Crevak spy within the Consortium’s ranks.
AUTHOR’S SYNOPSIS:
It’s a dirty galaxy and someone has to clean it.
Avoiding the wealthy inhabitants on the upper levels of Station Kelly Kornienko is bot-programmer Triana’s number one rule. Well, number two, right after “eat all the chocolate.”
But when one of her cleaning bots finds a dead body, all the rules go out the airlock. A highly connected security agent interrupts her routine with stories of missing bodies, and Triana can’t ignore him; it’s cooperate or find a new job. A girl has to pay the rent, even on a crappy studio compartment.
Working with a shiny detective beats a shuttle dirt-side, so Triana lends her programming skills to Agent O’Neill’s investigation. Together, they find more victims and evidence of a major cover-up.
It will take all Triana’s technical talents, most of O’Neill’s connections, and some really excellent croissants to stop the murders, save her job, and ultimately, her life.
The Vacuum of Space is the first book in a completed series.
