Frank Burns reviewed Orbital Decay by Allen Steele
Review of 'Orbital Decay' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I am going to say that this just sneaked 4 stars.
It was written in 1989 and it painfully carries some of the crap of that time with it, in writing terms. It's also a first novel and has a few rough parts due to that.
On the other hand it won a Locus and the premise is good. The space frontier as delivered by working joes. Thus, I am landing just on the cusp of a 4.
That being said, I probably won't continue with this series so I am not going to give it a recommend.
