Not very exciting...

For me, this was a frontier western story in space, and I was not sure why I should be interested. It made me question the whole premise of 'humanity conquers the solar system/universe' science fiction. Why would humanity settle Mars and the Asteroid Belt to begin with, and why would society change so little in that process?

If you like mystery, violence, horror and want it set in space, this might just be your thing; it did not appeal to me.
