MACHINE - ELIZABETH BEAR TASCHENBUCH

Meet Doctor Jens  She hasn't had a decent cup of coffee in fifteen years  The first part of her
job involves jumping out of perfectly good space-ships  The second part requires developing
emergency treatments for sick aliens of species she's never seen before  She loves it  But her
latest emergency is also proving a mystery: Two ships  one ancient and one new  locked in a
dangerous embrace  A mysterious crew suffering from an even more mysterious ailment  A shipmind
trapped in an inadequate body  much of her memory pared away  A murderous virus from out of
time  Unfortunately  Dr  Jens can't resist a mystery  Which is why she's about to discover that
everything she's dedicated her life to       is a lie  Praise for Elizabeth Bear 'Like the best
of speculative fiction  Bear has created a fascinating and complete universe that blends
high-tech gadgetry with Old World adventure and political collusion' Publishers Weekly 'This is
certainly the best science fiction novel I've read in 2019 so far and I look forward to see how
Bear develops the characters and her impressively rich universe' (POPULAR SCIENCE) 'Elizabeth
Bear is just as comfortable writing steampunk and fantasy as she is hard science fiction  and
Ancestral Night  first half of a duology  brims with heady concepts and sleek far-future
hardware  There is a mordant wit at work' (FINANCIAL TIMES) 'Awesome  awe-inspiring space opera
Fittingly  it shifts from weighty themes to lighter humour with dexterity  grace and crackling
dialogue' (Daily Mail) 'Bear has constructed a fascinating  absorbing universe populated with
compelling and intelligent characters who conform to neither clichés nor stereotypes  It's
sci-fi of the top order' (popmatters com)
