Another good book in the series. Linda Nagata has an awesome imagination. (This is one of her far-future books. She also does fantasy and near-future techno-thrillers equally as well.)Our intrepid crew continue their dangerous exploration of what was previously human space with surprising results.This is not a stand-alone story. One needs to start with [b:Edges 43483913 Edges (Inverted Frontier #1) Linda Nagata https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546820501l/43483913.SY75.jpg 67627795]. (Or, you could push it even farther back. [b:Vast 14654789 Vast (The Nanotech Succession, #3) Linda Nagata https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348626540l/14654789.SY75.jpg 1176062] is also a very good book and it tells the earlier adventures of a couple of the main characters in the Inverted Frontier series.)Good SF. Solid 4 stars.
