Gardens of the Sun by Paul Mcauley
'A writer of dazzling range, luminous intelligence and great humanity' Alastair Reynolds
THE QUIET WAR is a deft fusion of modern-as-tomorrow hard SF space opera, slam-bang thriller (with cutting-edge science and some breathlessly cool action sequences) and a superbly intelligent and timely examination of society sliding over the brink into warHeroes and villains aplenty populate this teeming, multifaceted novel, and in Macy Minnot - a small fish caught up in the flow of massive, world-shaking events - McAuley gives us his most engaging and likable heroine to date. Great book! - Alastair Reynolds
