Barbary Station

There's a pretty good action story here, with some really interesting worldbuilding. But I have to admit that I found all the "Babe" this and "Babe" that dialogue between the two main characters, who are in a relationship, really saccharine and annoying, and these are the only two of the characters who really get any character development. However, I still found the book worth reading, and will definitely be reading the second book in the series, Mutiny at Vesta.
