The saga of two young friends trapped in an endless nightmare of suspicion and surveillance, of cyber-programmed servants and a ruling class with century-long lives - and the enigmatic woman who dominates them all. Narrators Jonathan Davis and Gabra Zackman skillfully split up this sweeping sci-fi epic that is "at once a psychological novel, a murder mystery, and an examination of power on a grand scale."

"Strongly recommended.... A future as detailed as that of Herbert's Dune, with dozens of complex characters.... all the paranoid tension of a spy thriller." (Newsday)
"A massive, multifaceted novel that tackles a variety of ethical, social, and political issues.... Cherryh's worldbuilding is ambitious and her main characterizations are well-individualized.... Ultimately fascinating in concept and detail. Decidedly a major work." (Booklist)
"truly awful"
Please don't download it is the worst book I've downloaded. There is little story and... well I managed about 3 hours before closing it
