The colony ship Ragtime docks in the Lagos system, having traveled light-years to bring one thousand sleeping souls to a new home among the stars. But when first mate Michelle Campion rouses, she discovers some of the sleepers will never wake. Answering Campion's distress call, investigator Rasheed Fin is tasked with finding out who is responsible for these deaths. Soon a sinister mystery unfolds aboard the gigantic vessel, one that will have repercussions for the entire system—from the scheming politicians of Lagos station, to the colony planet Bloodroot, to other far-flung systems, and indeed to Earth itself.

Rezension von Raphaela Abgebrochen. Die Story klingt toll, aber ich ertrage den Schreibstil nicht. Vielleicht liegt es an der Übersetzung, aber Wortwahl, Satzbau und Dialoge klingen wie aus einem schlechten Teenie Roman und nicht als würde man eine erwachsene Frau durch einen SciFi Thriller begleiten.
Rezension von GabrieleLots of good ideas, almost all of which were not translated into a satisfying narrative structure. It felt to me while reading as if someone was constantly holding a piece of cake in front of my nose so that I got an appetite, and then the cake was thrown away before my eyes. I wish the book had been more exciting and I would have enjoyed it more.
