This was a good time to read, and I dreaded coming to the end because I knew that it was going to end without, well, ending. I'm hoping that three years is long enough, and that DKM will be bringing out the next book soon. I enjoyed this. It's not often, any more, that something holds my attention in this way. The best thing is that DKM has a handle on how writing code works, and how people think problems out. ( )

There's an upside: It's more of the Continuing Time, with Trent the Uncatchable continuing to be so. It has been a long, long wait for more of this series, and it's mighty nice to see more come.

The downside? It strikes me as too reminiscent of The Long Run, which was a previous long chase between Trent and the UN. Moran has been so good at coming up with dramatically different things. (The Last Dancer is *so* different from The Long Run, and in unexpected ways.) The Big Boost doesn't have so much of the "different."

In effect, it's a return to familiar territory, and I'm happy with that, as long as the followup gets to some keen new places. ( )

The Big Boost gives us the return of Trent the Uncatchable, the greatest thief in the Solar System. After the events of The Last Dancer he is, in the eyes of the Unification that governs Earth, the most wanted criminal ever. And after laying low in the asteroid belt for several years, he’s decided it’s time for him to come back home.

With Trent in the spotlight, we naturally get a caper story: a good mix of drama and humor, leading up to a confrontation between Trent and his nemesis, Elite Commissioner Vance, whom Trent humiliated in The Long Run.

Moran’s pacing is excellent; the whole series keeps me up late turning pages. ( )
