(3) YA Jarra's (Earth Girl; Earth Star) inability to leave Earth (a condition which garners rampant discrimination in 2789) hasn't stopped her from gaining success and fame. The series' parallel plot arcs (Jarra's challenge of anti-"Handicapped" prejudice and her work toward alien first contact) peak here. A densely realized future--conveyed in impressive linguistic, political, social, and geographical detail--rewards readers looking for non-dystopian, intellectually rich science fiction.
