Product Description

Product Description
In this richly realised universe of enigmatic aliens and complex politics, one woman must untangle interlocking mysteries in a race against time. Halley, commander of the deep space station Jocasta, is desperate. Her station is blockaded by hostile creatures, communications and key systems are failing, rations are low, tensions between humans and aliens are at the flashpoint, and a foreign trader is killed by an apparently extinct monster. Halley must now solve the mystery of a locked room in closed space - before Jocasta erupts in an explosion of terror and death.

4.0 out of 5 stars Time Future is a tense present!, 24 Jun 2001
By Rebecca Brown "rebeccasreads" (Clallam Bay, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The commander of the deep space station Jocasta is blockaded by hostile creatures, communications & key systems are failing; rations are low & tensions between humans & aliens are at a flashpoint.

What a good start for Maxine McArthur! Seldom do I find in an author's first work the kind of character control that this one brings. She has really captured the cultural shock of first contact & its impact in a near future.

From one end of this book to the other, the human characters are able to see their situations' changing advantages & disadvantages. I really like her confrontations of realities. Insofar as what you see is not always what you get & what you get is not always what you think it is. I liked that McArthur allows her characters to think, question & grow.

This reader is looking forward to more from this intriguing author.
