A Maxim Jakubowski selected title.

Both a spy story and a splendid space opera, this strong science fiction debut by a young British author is mighty impressive. Highly praised by no other than Joanne Harris it is mostly set on the remote heavy gravity and storm-covered colony planet of Magenta. Mourning the death of his own wife, agent Keon Rouse, returns to his native home only to find himself accused of theft and becomes involved in investigating a new, deadly drug. Helping him along is a simulacrum of his late wife, who was also an intelligence operative. As the plot explodes into all sorts of tantalising tangents, the odd couple strengthen their bond and face a series of machinations and conspiracies that soon become a threat to everything they knew about their past marriage. All the rigour of a tightly plotted classic crime story with all the technicolour thrills of SF at its most gaudy. Wonderful. ~ Maxim Jakubowski
