Travel the solar system on solar sail ships. Meet hard-working sentients: humans, canines, simians, and octopuses, plying our heliosphere for fun and profit. You won't find any exploding rockets, evil aliens, laser blasters, or sparking computers, instead, you'll find hacked comm lines, buried Luna casinos, pirates, dust balls, and weaponized beef jerky. And after your cruise through the Asteroid belt, Mars, and Luna, settle down on Earth for a party in the desert, they'll bring the Carne Asada burritos, you bring the fun.</p><p> </p><p>No matter what regime is in charge, Gig workers have to jump from job to job, trying to earn enough for food, shelter, air, and waste disposal.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Welcome: </strong> </p><p>Join humans, simians, canines, and octopuses in our new future, gigging and living in the void.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Best Review: </p><p>"The good news: It is extremely well written for what it is.</p><p>The bad news: I have no idea who would want to read it besides a NASA scientist or two. ... technical manual on venturing into space."</p><p>and</p><p>"a cult following for it as a unique indie piece"</p><p><br></p><p> </p><p>From Goodreads</p><p>rated it really liked it</p><p>This a very different kind of book. Think part tech manual, part science fiction, part alternative universe, and part Im not sure what. I can see someone who is a sci-fi or tech nerd totally enjoying this book. It is well written and has a lot of good parts.</p><p> </p><p>Unfortunately for me, it is not something I would pick up to read for enjoyment. Just because it is not for me does not mean it would not be an enjoyable read for someone else. I did enjoy the characters and the idea of working with a working with a canine, simian or octopus does intrigue me!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> rated it really liked it</p><p>I don't know much about jet propulsion, so the first part of the book was too abstruse. More a manual, it would probably have been better a separate book. Or interwoven into the story as "show, don't tell".</p><p> </p><p>The latter part was better, anti-dystopian. I get tired of doom and gloom fiction writers, so this was a good change. And no weird aliens either. That was refreshing too.</p><br>
