"The Vacuum of Space" is the first in the "Triana Moore, Space Janitor" series. The main character, Triana Moore, is a smart but mostly ordinary janitor on an orbital space habitat who stumbles across a murder. Striking a work/life balance is always hard but it's even harder when you're trying to solve a murder while getting to know the handsome rich guy who buys you expensive chocolate.
Some books have trouble striking a good balance between making a heroine relatable (particularly to a male like me) and moving the plot forward. Some treat the heroine as basically a man who happens to be female or they get bogged down in picking the right dress for a gunfight. In this book, Julia Huni does a fantastic job of making a character that's believable, engaging, and downright likeable.
This is the first book in a long series, so if you like it,…
Triana Moore programs the robots that clean the glitzy Station Kelly Kornienko. Avoiding the wealthy inhabitants on the upper levels of the station is her number one rule. Well, number two, right after "eat all the chocolate."
But when one of her bots finds a dead body, all the rules go out the window. Or the airlock, since the windows on SK2 don't open.
Come along on a crazy ride through SK2 and across the galaxy with Triana Moore, Space Janitor.

TMiaHM is perhaps the crowning masterpiece of a legendary science fiction
author. People have told me to read it for decades, and now I understand why.
It completely changes the socio-political outlook of our solar system, or at
least Earth’s small neighborhood.
The book begins innocently as a techno-optimist, coming-of-age story
exploring the limits of AI (or how AI was envisioned back when Heinlein wrote
it in 1966). Interesting characters drive events forward until they snowball
into a riveting military logistics thriller.
This story can teach us valuable lessons about the politics of human
nature. As a writer, I’m also learning many advanced literary techniques from
it. The science remains cutting-edge even today, and the relevance has never
been greater, given recent NASA plans to build settlements on the Moon. Will
future Lunies be convicts or conquerors? Or both?
Tom Clancy has said of Robert A. Heinlein, "We proceed down the path marked by his ideas. He shows us where the future is." Nowhere is this more true than in Heinlein's gripping tale of revolution on the moon in 2076, where "Loonies" are kept poor and oppressed by an Earth-based Authority that turns huge profits at their expense. A small band of dissidents, including a one-armed computer jock, a radical young woman, a past-his-prime academic and a nearly omnipotent computer named Mike, ignite the fires of revolution despite the near certainty of failure and death.
