Description
A voice from the darkness promises utopia…
…whatever the cost.
Earth is lost, humanity’s presence there a mere footnote in history. Now, the human race clings to a precarious existence in the void, scattered across the solar system. The line between life and death has never been thinner.
Nothing in Ambera “Tharsis” Chen’s life has turned out the way she hoped. A military commission and assignment out beyond Mars’s gravity well seemed like a grand adventure. Instead, she’s stuck at a dead-end base with a terrible commander. Disillusioned, all she wants to do now is serve out her time and go home.
So when a friend offers a night of dimension-hopping fun, Tharsis can’t resist. Who cares if it’s illegal?
But her friend’s intentions are far from innocent. And the Kuiper, silent for decades, has begun speaking again.
Soon, Tharsis finds herself racing across the system, embroiled in a plot to reawaken an ancient power, calling out from beyond the edges of habitable space. Will she find the will to silence the voices forever, or will chaos reign again?

A thrilling and nail biting story. I had so much fun with this one. I stayed up late every night interested in what was going to happen next. I’ll be keeping an eye out for anything else this author writes.

Beware there is a lengthy and confusing preamble to contend with before hitting the tale proper. BUT I FEEL ITS WORTH IT!
I was struggling to understand and remember everything in the first few chapters and was considering giving up but i decided to go with the flow and concentrate less and just get a feel for the history of human expansion into the solar system and hoped it would make more sense later.
I think it was approximately chapter eight before i felt i was starting to get into the story and begin to enjoy it. And it is a good hard sci-fi tale with lots of clever concepts. The main character Tharsis is likeable as we follow her dealings with the all powerful Landlords of the system.. I never found the reading easy and i presume that is a deliberate ploy from the author to keep readers thinking. And it is a book that keeps you thinking once finished.
