Review "At turns sweet, funny, moving, and suspenseful, this is a book to devour. I fell in love with the endearing, maladjusted genius Yuri, and held my breath--fault of the all-too-real and terrifying threat steadily mounting throughout the story. A fantastic read!" - S.J. Kincaid, author of the Insigna trilogy and THE DIABOLIC"The science Kennedy weaves throughout the story is fascinating and accessible, and Yuri and Dovie’s gentle romance is pitch-perfect. This novel is made to savor--readers will want to catch every nuance of Kennedy’s multidimensional characters." - starred review, Publishers Weekly"The balance of wit, romance, danger, and one huge philosophical and ethical dilemma is brilliantly managed here. . . .
