Like The Martian, the settings and situations in this book felt very real. The plot was a kind of a caper story with huge stakes but set in a small town where everybody knows you.
It was fun and fast moving and at times reminded me of one of my favorite books, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.

I re-read this because when a friend mentioned it, I realized I couldn't remember anything about it.
While reading it now, it seemed almost entirely new.
I was surprised that the industrial sabotage wasn't treated more harshly.
After an earlier failure, the new plan seemed to hinge on something that wasn't true.
Well, I still liked it a lot, and I will probably get to read it for the first time again in another 3 years.
