<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>This tense space opera will be irresistible to readers of Melissa Scott & C.J. Cherryh. With genetic engineering, interstellar power politics and vivid protagonists, <em>In the Deep</em> is <em>Firefly</em> meets <em>GATTACA</em>.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Velocity Wrachant and the crew of the <em>Susan Calvin</em> have been working in Pirian Space for three years, doing adjunct work for the Pirian fleet. When they are offered a mission in Republic Space, they know this is their chance to be taken in as full members of the fleet. And the job looks safe enough: they are to rescue some Pirian fleet members out of contract labor, while also learning what they can about local insurgencies.</p><p><br></p><p>The planet they are sent to, Durbin, is in Republic-held space. But it's at the fringes of that space, in the seldom patrolled area known as The Deep. Velocity takes the mission, hoping to get in and out without attracting the attention of the powerful, and hostile, Combines. Once they reach the planet, however, they learn that the political situation there is far more complicated-and dangerous-than they expected.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>...as gritty and complex as the first novel-length adventure... // Strongly reminiscent of C.J Cherryh at her best.</p><p>- Gwyneth Jones, author of the Aleutian trilogy, winner of the World Fantasy, Clarke, Dick, and Tiptree awards</p><p> </p><p><em>In the Deep </em>evoked for me // space opera at its best: C.J. Cherryh, Lois M Bujold, Arkady Martine, and Frank Herbert's <em>Dune</em>. Jennings offers character development and worldbuilding in spades to make a fractally complicated universe that feels real and lived in.</p><p>- Paul Weimer, SFF book reviewer and Hugo finalist</p><br>
