Description:
SUMMARY: Karl Schroeder is one of the new stars of hard SF. His novels, Ventus and Permanence , have established him as a new force in the field. Now he extends his reach into Larry Niven territory, returning to the same distant future in which Ventus was set, but employing a broader canvas.nbsp; Lady of Mazes isnbsp;the story of Teven Coronal, a ringworld with a huge multiplicity of human civilizations. It's the story of what happens when the delicate balance of coexisting worlds is completely destroyed, when the fabric of realitynbsp;itself is torn. nbsp; Brilliant but troubled Livia Kodaly is Teven's only hope against invaders both human and superhuman whonbsp;threaten thenbsp;fragile ecologies and human diversity. Filled with action, ideas, and intellectual energy, Lady of Mazes is the hard SF novel of the year.
