Description:
Felicitas is a 17-year-old girl trapped in an automated prison on a remote planet with two suns and no name. The prison was created by aliens called "uominilupi", although no one has seen an "uomolupo" for years, except in dreams caused by the implants that are supposed to keep the prisoners passive. But the implants are breaking down--along with the rest of the prison--and as the inmates slowly recover from their artificially induced stupor, they realize they must escape before the food runs out. Those prisoners who can't shake the grip of their implants remain alien slaves, zombie-like automatons forced to try to stop their fellow humans from escaping. Eventually it falls to Felicitas not only to break out of the prison but also to uncover a plot that stretches through time and space all the way back to 15th century Italy. This is Scott Mackay's first SF novel and, while it's not without its flaws, it's certainly an intriguing and ambitious tale well worth reading. -- Craig Engler
