pick97/150 I'm pretty sure I read this when it first came out, but it's been long enough that I've forgotten most of the plot. Humans have discovered plasma beings inside the sun, and using the Sundiver project, seek to make contact. This could have leaned toward a hard science science-fiction, but Brin creates interesting characters, human and alien, that adds more dramatic points to the story. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

#whereareyoumonday I am literally in the heart of the Sun with the crew of the Sundiver project.

Rereading for the first time since probably high school some 30 years ago. 😳
Got two walks in today so more listening to Sundiver. I‘ve been trading it on and off with Kris Kristofferson though, so I haven‘t gotten as far in as I might have otherwise. #audiowalk
pickDriving a tourist bus on the Moon, Pat Harris gets caught in a moonquake and his bus sinks in the Sea of Thirst's moondust. We follow the passengers and crew, the rescue team, and the journalists covering the story.
The moondust in the story doesn't actually exist, though it was a reasonable speculation at the time of writing. Yes, the characters were firmly rooted in the 1950s but the author still provided an exciting, suspenseful story.
TO BE THE SKIPPER of the only boat on the Moon was a distinction that Pat Harris enjoyed.

This is mostly a fast listen for me except for that one part where a character went on too long about the history of a particular alien civilization. #audiowalk
