JunoÃ¢s family moved to Lagarto, promised as a futuristic utopia for citizens of the overcrowded earth. However, the economy on Lagarto depends on a single export, and that export was replaced with a cheap knock-off. After that, Lagarto became a planetary slum and its residents suffer extreme poverty. Juno works as a cop, but heÃ¢s corrupted by bribes from the organized crime elements on Lagarto. Then heÃ¢s given a new partner, who wants to seem to set him for an arrest and conviction. Why It Made the List ItÃ¢s the first in a great series of books about Juno Mozambe. One of the best things to come from science fiction is the ability to bring out the worst in current society and display it taken to the extreme in a futuristic society. The themes of corporate greed and the loss of the middle class are resoundingly important today and the book will give you plenty to think about. The fact that this was the first novel by the author should tell you to go buy more of the authorÃ¢s books. Read It If You Likedystopian society, corrupt societies, cops on the take
