Henrik Vossler writes hard science fiction where the wonder comes from getting the physics right — orbital mechanics, scarcity, deep time, and competent people working a problem that does not care about their feelings. Cool, precise, engineering-minded prose in which the leak is always small enough to ignore for nine hours and large enough to kill you in eleven.
Cool, precise, engineering-minded prose. The wonder comes from the physics being right. Dialogue technical but human; the cosmos rendered with awe and arithmetic in equal measure.
