| Plot |
| Aiah is bored with her dead-end job of meting out plasm, the mysterious and powerful material created from the intrinsic power of the city's structures. When she stumbles upon an unlimited source of the precious substance, she's found her ticket to a new life. Daring to team up with the handsome and powerful Metropolitan known as Constantine, Aiah embarks upon a revolutionary plan that could change the world as they know it. "A spectacular blend of fantastic science, high politics, and low intrigue...Williams' world and characters are richly imagined yet utterly real." --Melissa Scott, author of Trouble and Her Friends "Blends SF aspects with noir stylings to create a potent atmosphere or urban dystopia...Ever the expert storyteller, Williams provides more than enough suspense." --Publishers Weekly - A Science Fiction Book Club selection - Williams is the author of ten superbly reviewed SF books. |
