"A delicate balance exists between humankind on Earth and the Coronians, the descendants of terrestrial scientists who were marooned aboard the space station Equinox. In exchange for raw materials crucial to expanding their off-world home, the Coronians provide precious space-based solar power to an Earth obscured by greenhouse gasses. But distrust runs deep between the two races, with each yearning for freedom from their mutual dependence yet both terrified of perishing without the other's help."--Back cover.

Aaah okay this book is a lot like the first one in that such a slow burn to start off with, totally bleak but stick with it! Then the end. Wow.

Yeah. Future me, if you're reading this because you're wondering if you should read any sequel that may or may not come out. Go read it.

P.S. Hexagons are fucking dope!

Review of 'Equinox' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Containment -- book one of the series which this book follows -- was fast-paced, filled with mystery, suspense & hard science (that was relevant to the story). I loved it, so I pounced on Equinox hoping for a second helping of the same thing.

It is emphatically not that, I gave up in disgust at about the 60% mark because I was just swimming in an ocean of -- mostly irrelevant -- words. Nothing was happening, there was no mystery and zero suspense.

The author is very coherent and the writing is well edited, I just didn't care about the 'story' and I got bored.
