At turns sweet, funny, moving, and suspenseful, this is a book to
devour. I fell in love with the endearing, maladjusted genius Yuri,
and held my breath--fault of the all-too-real and terrifying threat
steadily mounting throughout the story. A fantastic read!
*S.J. Kincaid, author of the Insigna trilogy and THE DIABOLIC*
The science Kennedy weaves throughout the story is fascinating and
accessible, and Yuri and Dovie’s gentle romance is pitch-perfect.
This novel is made to savor--readers will want to catch every
nuance of Kennedy’s multidimensional characters.
*Publishers Weekly*
The balance of wit, romance, danger, and one huge philosophical and
ethical dilemma is brilliantly managed here. . . . A nail-biting
climax with a cinematic aftermath and an even more nail-biting
resolution round out this thoroughly entertaining sci-fi disaster,
romance, action/adventure mashup.
