reviewed Tracer by Rob Boffard (Outer Earth, #1)

Fast-paced (literally) sci-fi fun

In orbit above a blasted and destroyed planet Earth, a million people have lived and worked aboard the Outer Earth for almost a century. Riley Hale is a Tracer, someone who makes a living running deliveries across the station for above-board as well as black market clients. She prefers not to know what her cargo is, but when she's attacked by a gang en route to the air labs one day, she accidentally discovers the horrifying contents of her backpack. This starts a chain of events that has to do with conflict between the station Council, a terrorist group who think humans don't deserve to live anymore, and Riley's small gang of Tracers who just want to get by.

The action slows dramatically at the end, a bit too much for my taste, but overall the book had me at the edge of my seat for 90% of the story. …
