Zeroboxer by Fonda Lee is an exhilarating sci-fi novel that blends elements of sports, science fiction, and drama.
Zeroboxer is set in a future where space travel and life on Mars have become the norm. The story revolves around Carr "the Raptor" Luka, a rising star in the sport of zeroboxing. A zero-gravity combat sport. As Carr climbs the ranks, he not only faces physical challenges in the ring but also ethical dilemmas and the pressures of fame.
Carr Luka: The protagonist, whose evolution from a talented but naive fighter to a mature individual with complex issues forms the heart of the story. Risha Ponn: Carr's handler and love interest, who supports him through his journey and offers her own perspectives on the ethical challenges they face. Enzo: A supporting character who adds depth to the narrative with his own story arc and connection to Carr.
My favorite aspect about Zeroboxer is the action scenes, which are vividly described. It makes the readers feel like they are right in the middle of the zero-gravity matches. Fonda Lee's background in martial arts also adds to the book's excitement and intensity.
