Title: Engrossing world - hope for a sequel!
Review: Laurie King writes wonderful mysteries, so I shouldn't be surprised that she can write an excellent SF book -- though there's a much bigger challenge to the world building in SF. I found her post-apocalyptic world richly imagined and believable. She drops enough clues that it was easy to envision, without falling into any "As you know, Bob, ..." blobs of explanation. The character of Dian is vivid and interesting, and the people around her feel real and complex in their own right. I found it suspenseful -- I lost sleep!I desperately want to read more books in this world.
