"""Asaro's SF debut features strong male and female characters and a well-realized far-future world. Blending hard science with a familiar tale of star-crossed lovers, this novel deserves a wide readership."" --Library Journal ""A good read and a promising debut for Asaro."" --Starlog ""An imaginative debut that takes off at a frantic pace, with dazzling technology, stirring battles, and mental hijinks."" --Kirkus Reviews ""Though Asaro, a physicist, provides more than enough esoteric detail on faster-than-light inversion drives, cybernetic enhancements and computer networks, she manages to anchor her story with thoughtful, engaging characters and an intriguing vision of the future--and she leaves the door open for a sequel."" --Publishers Weekly"
