""A.SF masterpiece."--Kim Stanley Robinson
When the Styths, a powerful and aggressive race of mutants from
Uranus and Saturn, launch pirate raids on ships from Mars, Earth's
Committee for the Revolution sets out to negotiate peace. The task
falls to the resourceful and unpredictable Paula Mendoza. The
initial meetings hold little hope for success--until Paula adopts a
less conventional approach and appears to obtain her objective.
But, the consequences for Paula prove considerable, when she finds
herself on the floating cities of the Gas Planets, the tenuous, and
only, link between Earth and the Styth Empire.A profoundly moving
portrait of one determined and strong-willed woman.
