Machine by Elizabeth Bear
A superb new adventure in the White Space universe, by award-winning author Elizabeth Bear. Meet Doctor Jens. She hasn't had a decent cup of coffee in fifteen years . . . and she's about to jump from one moving spaceship to another, to save unknown alien species. She could really do with that coffee . . .
This is certainly the best science fiction novel I've read in 2019 so far and I look forward to see how Bear develops the characters and her impressively rich universe* POPULAR SCIENCE *
Machine is a fascinating, compelling, and ultimately satisfying space opera in a vast, complex, weird, and interesting universe * Locusmag.com *
Bear has a striking command of tension and character, and a deep interest in ethics and human behaviour * Locusmag.com *
Elizabeth Bear is just as comfortable writing steampunk and fantasy as she is hard science fiction, and Ancestral Night, first half of a duology, brims with heady concepts and sleek far-future hardware. There is a mordant wit at work. * FINANCIAL TIMES *
Awesome, awe-inspiring space opera. Fittingly, it shifts from weighty themes to lighter humour with dexterity, grace and crackling dialogue * Daily Mail *
Bear has constructed a fascinating, absorbing universe populated with compelling and intelligent characters who conform to neither clichés nor stereotypes. It's sci-fi of the top order. * popmatters.com *
