Roc, 2004. Give the retrieval artist series credit. It keeps finding new ways of being noir. We have permanent colonies on the moon and many other places in our own solar system and elsewhere. In some ways, the human colonies are as weird or weirder than the various alien cultures with their penchant for revenge murder, multigenerational retribution, and child abduction. Nobody wants an interstellar war, so there is an uneasy alliance that depends on nobody stepping on anyone else’s cultural toes, an intractable problem at best. Former lunar policeman Miles Flint works as a retrieval artist, rescuing victims who have been caught up in the arcane system. When one of the people he has rescued is murdered with her whole family, Miles feels obliged to look into the case. As we might expect, what he finds is not simple. I'm very much enjoying this series. It examines cultural and legal situations that might arise when alien cultures, taboos and laws intersect with human equivalents. What happens when someone ficks dust off a shoulder and that is illegal in an alien culture? Well, then the offenders 'Disappear'. Great characterization, imaginative plots, and complexly drawn worlds. I read this book quickly. I had forgotten about DeRicci's promotion. I had forgotten that this book introduced the governor-general as well as Mayor Soseki. I had also forgotten that this was the book where Miles first starts to kinda screw over DeRicci. Miles gets on my nerves from this book until the mystery of the book 'Paloma' in regards to him is solved. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Just as gripping as the previous books in the series but I can't help wonder now that Armstrong City has narrowly escaped an epidemic and suffered an explosion which breached its Dome, whether they will continue to allow Flint to operate in this closed, vulnerable environment. ( )
