In the year 7000 CE, metahumans, descended from robots, have replaced the extinct human race. Traveling to the water world of Shin-Tethys in search of her sister Ana, Krina Alizond-114 is captured by pirates. Believing that Krina and her sister each possess half of a lost financial artifact known as the Atlantis Carnet, Count Rudi, the pirates' leader, agrees to accompany her in the hopes of obtaining the item. Neither Krina nor the pirate captain realizes that an assassin is pursuing her for the same purpose.
VERDICT The author of Singularity Sky continues to push the envelope of imagination with his bold plots and far-seeing vision. This follow-up to Saturn's Children should appeal to Stross's fans as well as to readers who appreciate cutting-edge sf.
