Worldwired by Elizabeth Bear
Give Canada's Master Warrant Officer Jenny Casey an inch and she'll take a galaxy. That's just the kind of person a world on the brink of destruction needs. The year is 2063, and Earth has been brutalized. An asteroid flung at Toronto by the PanChinese government has killed tens of millions and left the equivalent of a nuclear explosion in its wake. Humanity must find another option. Perched above the devastation in the starship Montreal, Jenny is still in the thick of the fray. Plugged into the worldwire, connected to a brilliant AI, her mind can be everywhere and anywhere at once. But it's focused on the mysterious alien beings right outside her ship. Are they there to help-or destroy? With Earth a breeding ground for treason and betrayal as governments struggle to assign blame, Jenny holds the fate of humankind in her artificially reconstructed hand.THE JOHN W. BEAR AWARD was given to ELIZABETH BEAR. In 2005, he won the Campbell Award for Best New Writer. For her short fiction, she has received two Hugo Awards, a Sturgeon Award, and the Locus Award for Best First Novel. Range of Ghosts, Broken Pillars, and Steles of the Sky are part of her critically praised Eternal Sky Trilogy. Brookfield, Massachusetts is where Bear calls home.
