Except Asaro does, with . . . up-to-the-minute savvy!"ocus"[Baahjan], who starts out keeping an emotional distance from the people in the Undercity soon grows to think of them as her community once more. Asaro . . . returns to the Skolian empire's early history to tell Bhajaan's story."ooklist"Asaro delivers a tale rich with the embedded history of her world and bright with technical marvels. Her characters are engaging and intriguing and there is even a bit of romance. What really touched my heart was Bhaaj's interaction with the children of the aqueducts. I spent the last fifty pages of the book sniffling into a tissue."F Crowsnet"I'm hooked, both on her writing and her Skolian universe. This book had everything I wanted: strong characters, a new and unique world, and a plot that isn't as simple as it first appears."erryTalkAbout Catherine Asaro Skolian saga:ntertaining mix of hard SF and romance.?i>ublishers Weekly?/i>Asaro Skolian saga is now nearly as long and in many ways as compelling as Dune, if not more so, featuring a multitude of stronger female characters.?i>ooklistapid pacing and gripping suspense.?i>ublisher Weekly
