Summary: A spectacular first novel!
Review: Set in a universe of interstellar travel, this is the story of Riva, an assasin whose ability to shift between alternate timelines makes her the best at her craft. The best aspects of this book are its unpredictability (ok, it does get a little predictable at the end...) and the frenetic pace of the narration. Though I am often skeptical of reviews which claim that a book is difficult to put down, this one really is. Deborah Christian really has that spark which enables her to interleave storylines without losing touch with the narrative thrust. This is the work of a mature novelist and it's hard to believe it's her first attempt. I'm looking forward to her future works.

Summary: Suspenseful - great read!
Review: This book contains all the things that I like in SciFI: a world created in the future, suspense, good plot, interesting time-line effects, lots of computer-techo action, good characters, and excellent writing. The assassin Reva grows during the book, and at the end still has a lot of growing left to do. I hope that we will see her again in a sequel!.
