Review:

''Russo has an excellent eye for the urban landscape [and] the crime writer's well-tuned ear for vernacular . . . from street punks right up to the high-level officials.'' --Asimov's Science Fiction

''One of the best blends of SF and mystery yet written.'' --Science Fiction Chronicle

''Russo's latest SF crime novel is mean streets, callous megacorps, venal politicians, and ordinary lowlifes in a jam . . . Russo's characters succeed in stirring our empathy, but their strangeness is what holds our attention.'' --Analog

''The characters are well-crafted, the setting interesting and vivid, and the pacing is brisk.'' --Uncle Hugo's Newsletter
