Rolling Thunder by Varley, John. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780441015634.

Lieutenant Patricia Kelly Elizabeth Podkayne Strickland-Garcia-Redmond - otherwise known as Podkayne - is a third-generation Martian with a planet-sized chip on her shoulder. Her grandfather Manny was one of the first men to set foot on Mars. So Poddy has some equally planet-sized shoes to fill. Thats why shes joined the Music, Arts, and Drama Division of the Martian Navy. Though some may say her voice is a weapon in itself, Poddy passed the audition with a little help from some higher-ups. And now shes going to Europa, one of Jupiters many moons, to be an entertainer. But shes about to learn that underneath the song and dance routines, there can be plenty of danger to go around in the Martian Navy, even if youve just signed on to sing.
