Posted on 24 August 2018 by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Boss loves to dive historical ships, derelict spacecraft found adrift in the blackness between the stars Sometimes she salvages for money, but mostly she s an active historian She wants to know about the past to experience it firsthand Once she s dived the ship, she ll either leave it for others to find or file a claim so that she can bring tourists to dive it as well It s a good life for a tough loner, with interest in artifacts than people.Then one day, Boss finds the claim of a lifetime an enormous spacecraft, incredibly old, and apparently Earth made It s impossible for something so old, built in the days before Faster Than Light travel, to have journeyed this far from Earth It shouldn t be here It can t be here And yet, it is Boss s curiosity is up, and she s determined to investigate She hires a group of divers to explore the wreck with her, the best team she can assemble But some secrets are best kept hidden, and the past won t give up its treasures without exacting a price in blood.

this book is pretty singular in NOT having a big romance arc.Basically the main character is a space ship wreck diver, and the peril with which she infuses the dive sequences isthan worth the price of

in his account of the U.S space race, the prototype is the test pilot Chuck Yeager, who was laconic, a self reliant loner, brave in a matter of fact way, and a stickler for details The lead character in this tale, known simply as Boss, fits this profile in a female form In her first...I kinda like the movie Event Horizon, a supposedly horror movie about a missing ship It has a pretty good cast A couple British actors you know from Masterpiece or the Harry Potter movies, a couple of American actors you know from TV, Sam Neil, and Laurence Fishborne It should have been a very good movie The idea was good, a supposedly haunted or possessed spaceship In fact, the movie was good until the writers decided they need to kill just about everyone off in really stupid ways It s a I kinda like the

comprised of three novellas following a single character through a series of startling discoveries Kristine Kathryn Rusch s writing style is very straight forward and matter of fact She s efficient in her sentence structure, perfectly reflecting her narrator s methodical nature Despite this lack of elaborate prose, she manages to convey the sens...This was one of those books that I wanted to be something else I like tough heroines, but Boss was just so tough, so monotone and distant, often summarizing rather than interacting, that I gradually lost interest, especially when the diving scenes peeled off characters but didn t really seem to add up to much.I was wildly curious about the room of lost souls, but as the mystery was solved, it became less and less interesting Boss s family dynamic was probably the most intriguing bit of the nov This was one of those books that I wanted to be something else I like to...Have to say I was disappointed with this one I love KKR s Retrieval Artist series of SF mystery novels.Not sure if it was done on purpose for some obscure reason, but I was mildly irritated that our main character is never named and barely described Even when she meets up with her father after many years of separation , even when a total stranger seeks her out in a bar to do business, she ...While I have been an avid fantasy reader for most of my life, it s
