Mercury by Ben Bova

⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fun read but not exactly what I expected. Half of the book takes place on Mercury and space, while the other half is set on earth before the events on Mercury. I really enjoyed the overall story but found the flashback chapters a bit anticlimactic compared to the main storline. Regardless, I recommend this novel. This is the kind of book you should read with popcorn :) ... and I plan to continue with the series.
