What reading level is Ad Astra book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet, every individual human life is the sum of similar vast improbabilities, so the accident may have had a certain cosmic inevitability about it. I don't know. I drive ships for a living, and leave Big Questions to the priests, philosophers and physicists.
My Chief Engineer, Val Steiner, triggered this particular accident. "The primary Umbari Coil's drifted slightly out of alignment. We need to drop out of U-Space long enough to recalibrate." I shrugged in reply. As decisions by a ship's Captai...n go, this was an easy one. "If we gotta, we gotta. How long will it take?" "Half-a-day. Maybe." "Maybe?" I signaled annoyance with an aggravated frown.
Steiner just smiled, secure on her pillar as god of the machinery that made my ship work. "If there's no complications." "And if there are?" "It'll take longer." One of my passengers happened to be present, and now he leaned forward, frowning as well, though in a questioning way. "Excuse me, Captain. Why is this a problem? Doesn't your ship have a back-up Coil?" I smiled reassuringly back at him.
