In the distant future, hundreds of years after the liberating event known as the Deliverance, humanity once again aims for the stars. A chance meeting between scholar Clovis and tinker-engineer Merrial blossoms into a full-blown love affair based on a mutual interest in the historical reality of the woman known as the Deliverer. The affair leads to the discovery of dark truths thought buried in the past. The author of The Cassini Division crafts a mesmerizing tale that spans two time periods linked by one woman's struggle to free her world from terror and the threat of war. MacLeod's straightforward prose and assured storytelling make this sf adventure a good choice for most libraries. Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.
