Epic science fiction peopled with unique and compelling characters from one of the most exciting new talents of the decade.

Jamisia, a young girl protected by biological brain-ware and troubled by multiple voices in her head, flees her comfortable life on a satellite when corporate raiders destroy the entire colony. To her horror, she learns that they were looking for her.

Launched into the intrigues of the mysterious Gueran guild, mutant star-pilots who have a stranglehold on galactic commerce, Jamisia is desperate to avoid capture, and must form uncertain alliances with exotic strangers. Yet, as a rogue computer virus wreaks havoc across the galaxies it seems that humanity’s future rests in her hands: but first she must unlock the deadly secret hidden inside her head.

Against the rich and compelling backdrop of this epic story the author has succeeded in creating a truly unique character in Jamisia and placed her in a novel of fantastic diversity, and breathtaking possibility.

Interstellar speciation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2015

Verified Purchase

Basic absurdity (use of a particular interstellar transport results in coordinated mutations which breed true to produce manifold new species or subspecies) with all-too-familiar thriller pursuit of secretly talented fugitive and covert cyberattack. Sadly, I just lost interest two thirds of the way through the struggle. Some good bits emphasising the advantages of the non-neurotypical.

I just get so bored...

good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2015

Enjoyed it. A few incongruities, like the 20th century hackers in the distant future and not a little borrowing from Frank Herbert, but an enjoyable romp nonetheless. The most original idea of the novel - the multifarious physical and mental mutations of the human diaspora - wasn't explored enough in my opinion and this was far more worthy than another 'space navigator' plot.

Great book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 May 2018

Verified Purchase

I love this book, the premise just appeals to my imagination. It's always my go to book if I'm stuck in a rut of not reading.
I was so pleased to receive this new looking hardback copy to replace my very worn paperback. Reasonable price and delivery time from the US was excellent.

Décevant

Reviewed in France on 17 June 2017

J'ai lu "Madness Season" du même auteur, et je le considère comme un chef d'oeuvre. Ce livre, en comparaison, m'a paru bien faible. L'héroïne est un personnage à qui il arrive des choses, mais jamais elle ne prend réellement son destin en main. Les autres personnages, parfois bien construits, me font également l'effet d'un pétard mouillé. Ils ne tiennent pas leurs promesses. Mais ils en font toutefois plus que l'héroïne, faible femme malade qui attend qu'on la sauve. Peut-être l'un d'entre eux aurait-il fait un meilleur héro. Je mets quand même deux étoiles parce que l'univers dans lequel cette histoire se déroule est intéressant et bien construit.

Great story - crappy publication

Reviewed in the United States on 30 May 2016

Verified Purchase

I really liked the story. Good characters. Great pacing.

Too bad I bought the Kindle version which suffered from many grammatical and typographical errors. I think that it is a complete rip-off to pay for a book at nearly $9.00 and get something that received all of the care and consideration that a high school drop out gives a senior project. I get it that OCR is inaccurate, but surely some member of the human race could have at least run the book through a spell checker to catch the "rn" combinations that were transformed into "m"'s and the "tp" instead of "to." Then there were the times when there was a random period in the middle of the sentence.

C.S Friedman wrote a great novel, too bad her publisher didn't care enough to make sure that the proof reading was done.
