Packed with Larry Niven and Steven Barnes’s trademark excitement and science-based extrapolation, this thrilling novel introduces readers to Ice Vegas, an extraordinary city of the future powered by nuclear fusion.
Carver Reeves is head of security for BALDR, the massive nuclear facility that powers half of Europe, and by extension Ice Vegas, the glittering architectural fantasia of a domed city that has grown up beside it. But before he can peacefully retire, saboteurs infiltrate BALDR, determined to cripple the power plant, destroy the city, and kill hundreds of thousands of people.
Carver’s only hope: Spider.
The world’s deadliest assassin, Spider is Ice Vegas’s only hope for survival. She must catch the latest scion of a power-hungry Waldemer family, who for generations have been determined to control Earth. Between recounting Spider’s previous missions around the globe, where she’s encountered the Waldemers’ schemes, the present-day mission to thwart the tyrannical fiends once and for all proves so dangerous it may spell the end for Spider and the city she’s come to call home.

“Larry Niven is the quintessential ‘hard’ SF writer…This is a game for very smart and very disciplined writers only, and Niven is the master of it.”
“Great storytelling is still alive in science fiction because of Larry Niven.”
“Steven Barnes gives us characters that are vividly real people, conceived with insight and portrayed with compassion and rare skill—and then he stokes the suspense up to levels that will make the reader miss sleep and be late for work.”
“The story captivates readers with its mixture of a carefully conceived future based on hard, plausible science and its cast of splendidly realized, abundantly human characters…Spellbinding.”
