Summary: Good story and thoughtful
Review: The book is set in the same imagined future as Typhon's Children and Riders of Leviathan, which the author wrote as Toni Anzetti, and shows the same gifts as those books. One misses the beautiful descriptions of nature, especially those from Riders, since the book is set in spaceships and space stations, but the author's ability to build a setting from within, by showing us rather than explaining to us, that is so evident in Typhon's Children, is very much alive here. The central character, brilliant but flawed, has to grapple with some real moral issues that are not entirely irrelevant to our own time. And best of all, the book cries out for a sequel. I am looking forward to reading it.
