Becky Chambers meets Firefly in this big-hearted Korean space opera debut about a disgraced space pilot struggling to find her place while fighting to protect the people she loves. "A thrilling, transportive ride from a powerful and evocative new voice." —Lena Waithe, Rishi Rajani, and Naomi Funabashi, Hillman Grad Books Ocean Yoon has never felt very Korean, even if she is descended from a long line of haenyeo, Jeju Island's beloved female divers. She doesn't like soju, constantly misses cultural references, and despite her love of the game, people still say that she doesn't play Hwatu like a Korean. Ocean's also persona non grata at the Alliance, Korea's solar system–dominating space agency, since a mission went awry and she earned a reputation for being a little too quick with her gun. When her best friend, Teo, second son of the Anand Tech empire, is framed for murdering his family, Ocean and her misfit crewmates are pushed to the forefront of a high-stakes ideological conflict. But dodging bullets and winning space chases may be the easiest part of what comes next. A thrilling adventure across the solar that delivers hyperkinetic action sequences and irresistible will-they-won't-they romance alongside its nuanced exploration of colonialism and capitalism, Ocean's Godori ultimately asks: What do we owe our past? How do we navigate our present while honoring the complicated facets of our identity? What can our future hold?

      Judy Alice Lee narrates this action-packed space opera with skill, shifting between three very different perspectives. Ocean is a talented pilot and a wicked shot who is working for the Korean space agency on the OHNEUL. She's tough but loyal to her loved ones, including her best friend, Teo. Teo's ease and flirtatiousness shine in Lee's narration but shift into desperation when his ship comes under attack. Haven is an outsider when he joins the OHNEUL's crew, and Lee's quiet voice reflects his thoughtful, cautious nature--and attraction to Ocean. Lee brings warmth to scenes of tentative romance, shipboard camaraderie, and many delicious meals. And when raiders attack, Lee ramps up the pace, making listeners feel all of the tension. Excellent sci-fi listening with hints of more to come. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
