Summary

IN THIS NEAR-FUTURE INTERROGATION OF PRIVILEGE, A DECADES-OLD MURDER LOOMS OVER THE CLIENTELE OF A GLAMOROUS SPACE HOTEL …

WHILE A THREAT LURKS IN THE SERVICE CORRIDORS.

Space Habitat Altaire is the premier orbital luxury resort, perfect for the Rochford Institute’s lavish class reunions: prime opportunities for alumni to jockey for power—and to advance their applications to live on Mars. Earth is dying, and only the best deserve to save themselves.

At their 25th high school reunion, finance magnate Ava pursues the truth about her brother’s murder during their senior year. Political scion Laz hopes to finally win Ava’s heart. Sloane, collecting secrets to offset his family’s decline, angles for a key client. And Henry, heir to a healthcare empire, creates an unorthodox opportunity to reach Mars in a last-ditch effort to outrun a childhood secret.

But the Rochford alumni are so consumed by their own plans that they can’t see the global conflict unfolding before them … Soon, the rich and powerful will regret underestimating those they would leave behind on Earth.

It didn't work for me

I can see all the elements of the story for some reason I never felt particularly invested in any of the characters. This is possibly because none of them were very likeable. Great queer representation and the political and sci-fi backdrop was intriguing. Yet it just missed the mark for me.
