UNCHARTED TERRITORY

With this little novella, I’ve officially read all the Connie Willis available to me—sniff, sniff. Luckily, though slight, this tale of interplanetary explorers was clever, funny, and even romantic. I don’t normally go for hard-core space-travel sci-fi, but the setting here was just another chance for Willis to explore what she does best: bureaucracy, language, and screwball hijinks.
