At the close of the Twenty-first Century, Lee Vidar is a switch pilot working for Starship Industries on the Callisto-Europa run. The job is easy: Lee picks up the Orion engines which will be used to power the first starships of Earth on the long voyage to the earthlike world of Hope, in the Alpha Centauri system. The engines are taken by tug to the midpoint of the run, where Lee hands off the dangerous cargo to another switch pilot and returns to Callisto. But on this run, nothing goes according to plan ... and Lee's sometime lover and old friend Johnny Dujon, is involved up to his eyeballs. This one's like a movie tie-in - you can see it on the sceen. Would make a great movie similar in lots of ways to OUTLAND (that one was also set on Jupiter) and I think FIREFLY. Not that anything in [CALLISTO SWITCH] is like those others, but I really get into these scifi shows (and books) where everything's 'dirty' and you can see how things work. Like ALIENS. Mel Keegan does this stuff sooooo great. (I'm also pretty damn sure Josh Whedon has read Mel Keegan, because there's things in common between some of the Keegan books and FIREFLY/SERENITY ... and then I checked the copyright dates, and MEL DID IT FIRST. Like ten years before!! So there's something for you, if anybody needed a rec. Then, plus, there's the gay spin on these characters and you gotta love it. You can stop wishing and imagining your 'subtext' stuff,' and enjoy The Real Deal.
