A wonderfully commercial and immensely original SF series from one of its most acclaimed practitioners. perfect for fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Richard Morgan alike. An exciting new direction for the critically lauded Justina Robson. Young, very promotable author.
Justina is from Leeds, a city in Yorkshire in the north of England. She always wanted to write and always did. Other things sometimes got in the way and sometimes still do...but not too much.Previous titles:Quantum Gravity Book One: Keeping it Real (Bfmt Jan 07);Living Next Door To The God Of Love;Natural History;Mappa Mundi;Silver Screen
In Robson's second book of the "Quantum Gravity" series (following Keeping It Real), it is the new millennia, and the world has opened up to reveal a number of parallel realms inhabited by beings more easily identified as elves, demons, elementals, and other once-mythical creatures. Dealing with the resulting security problems are secret agents like 21-year-old Lila Black-part human, part machine, and with the capability of existing in multiple realms. When Lila is mysteriously drawn into the world of dreams, she realizes just how easy it is to get pulled in and why a struggle with that world may involve more than just her life. A good choice for sf readers who like their tales cutting-edge and their heroes memorable. Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
Cyborg secret agent Lila Black learns that her worst enemy may be her own traumatic past in Robson's high-powered second Quantum Gravity installment (after 2006's Keeping It Real). Lila's first assignment was a disaster: she was forced to kill a friend to save elven rock star Zal, and now that friend, the elven necromancer Tath, lives inside her, commenting on her actions a la Jiminy Cricket. There's no cure for a tough job like diving headfirst into another, so now Lila is off on an undercover mission to Demonia to investigate the results of the recent quantum bomb explosion and learn how Zal managed to travel to Hell and become part demon. Her investigation is complicated by her cover as a journalist reporting on Demonian high society, as dangerous forces lurk behind the social whirl of luxurious parties. Robson's mix of magical and technological elements, intrigue and action should be just the thing for paranormal and fantasy adventure readers. (Oct.) Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information.
