REVIEWS

“[A]n epic chase across a near-future landscape, enlivened by twists, complicated puzzles to solve, plenty of intriguing technology, and a strong element of romance.”—School Library Journal

“Huber creates an excellent true-to-character voice for Samantha and does a particularly notable job with Turner as well, gradually changing his cadence from slightly mechanical to wholly and believably human. Huber’s well-timed pacing and occasionally emotional reading enhance the story line, keeping listeners engaged through a multitude of escape and chase sequences...plenty of action and a dash of romance.”—Booklist

“Hillary Huber integrates a healthy dose of skepticism in her characterization of Sam, giving her a quality that is fitting for a scientist....Huber moves the character along a spectrum of emotions that are sometimes raw but always under tight control.”—AudioFile

“Asaro reinforces her reputation for combining high-tech adventure and romance.”—Booklist
