A woman dies in the domed city of Armstrong on the Moon. Detective
Noelle DeRicci discovers that the victim is a Disappeared-an outlaw
in hiding wanted for crimes against an alien civilization. Only
DeRicci's old partner, Retrieval Artist Miles Flint brought the
Disappeared home, something he would have only done if he believed
the alien government would exonerate her for her crimes. But Flint
and DeRicci are no longer partners; in fact, they're on opposite
sides of the law. Flint can't tell DeRicci about his client's role
in a war between humans and a mysterious alien race. The
Disappeared's death is only the first volley in an escalation of
that war, a war that threatens to engulf the entire solar system.
"Miles Flint is back in this third volume of Kristine Kathryn
Rusch's Retrieval Artist series, and the stakes have never been
higher, the bad guys never so bad, and the risk of personal
catastrophe never more imminent. In short, Rusch has outdone
herself." -Wigglefish.com Rusch mounts hard-boiled noir on an
expansive sf background with great panache. -Booklist Part science
fiction, part mystery, and pure enjoyment are the words to describe
Kristine Kathryn Rusch's latest Retrieval Artist novel....This is a
strong murder mystery in an outer space storyline. -The Best
Reviews Mixing interstellar politics and police procedural, Rusch
turns out a satisfying SF mystery. Flint's internal conflicts are
deftly portrayed, and the gritty realism of the murder
investigation meshes well with the alien setting. This third] entry
in the Retrieval Artist series should please SF and mystery fans
alike, and can be read independently. -RT Book Reviews While the
reader who has read the first two books will be more familiar with
the background information about Miles Flint and his former partner
police detective Noelle DeRicci, lack of knowledge of the first two
books will in no way hamper or diminish the reader's ability to
enjoy Consequences. In fact, new readers (like me) will probably
enjoy it enough to want to track down the other two, and Rusch
provides enough background exposition so that the new reader is
never lost. -SFRevu
