Debris by Jo Anderton

I haven't read a lot of science fiction and Debris is one of the books that makes me realize that I am missing out. We meet our heroine Tanyana on that fateful day of "the accident." The consequences of that day lead to her losing everything she has every known as she is thrown from the height of society, to what is really, the garbage pickers of her world. Depressed and destitute, she doesn't crumble against the weight of her situation. Instead, she applies her brilliance to this new life and discovers something unexpected about her world.

Tanyana's journey makes a good read, however, the explanation of the scientific aspects of the world needs some more work. Also, the novel is somewhat predictable in its revelations and the end was much less climactic than hoped. Still, Debris is a promising start to an interesting series. I am very much looking forward to what comes next.
