On a remote, gas-wreathed outpost of a human colony on Jupiter, a man goes missing. The enigmatic Investigator Mossa follows his trail to Valdegeld, home to the colony’s erudite university―and Mossa’s former girlfriend, a scholar of Earth’s pre-collapse ecosystems.
Pleiti has dedicated her research and her career to aiding the larger effort towards a possible return to Earth. When Mossa unexpectedly arrives and requests Pleiti’s assistance in her latest investigation, the two of them embark on a twisting path in which the future of life on Earth is at stake―and, perhaps, their futures, together.
I came for the gender swapped holmsian romance, I stayed for the interesting world building and post earth diaspora society.
I did have trouble with the paper thin comic book villains. Perhaps it has to do with the homage to Sherlock Holmes, but this flatness clashes with the depth given to the intricacies of the world and the relationship.
