Space Lift a science fiction novel by Afsheen Kay, (trade) paper back publisher Iguana Books. A child of Mars, Najib has a wanderer’s heart, and ventures to Psyche for work. But he finds factory life on the asteroid intolerable, and escapes to Callisto. When the arrivals officer misspells his name, Najib takes the opportunity to reinvent himself. Najib ends up finding love, but also encounters both sides of Callisto’s underbelly—a crooked governor and an honorable crook who, when Najib tells him of his dream of seeing Earth, advises him that “in order to go east, you should head west.”
