Publisher Description
Lila Black returns in the fourth volume of high-octane, high-magic, high-tech adventures.
For ten years now mankind has lived in Otopia - our world, but our world changed. Ever since the Quantum Bomb our dimension and realms of faerie, demonia, of the elementals and of death have been intermingled. We live alongside creatures from our myths, dreams and nightmares.
Lila Black, half-robot, all attitude works for Otopia's secret service. In love with a half-elf, half-demon, and carrying the spirit of another elf inside her, her life is quite complicated enough already. But other complications, other loves, other fears, other deaths wait just around the next dimensional corner.
This is bright, fast moving and accessible SF that mixes in fantasy and a cool cult-lit sensibility to create a series that will appeal to all fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and Peter Hamilton alike.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Trapped in a bleak future where human/fey relations have dangerously deteriorated, paranormal cyborg secret agent Lila Black fights dark powers in the fourth Quantum Gravity supernatural thriller (after 2008's Going Under). Lila's bosses at the Otopian Secret Service want her to hunt down and execute her missing demon husband, Teazle, framed for a bloody killing spree. Lila wants to help Teazle, but she's also obsessed with finding and resurrecting her dead lover, the charismatic elven rock star Zal. When the search for Zal uncovers a deadly plot by an ancient power to rule all the dimensions, Lila, with her sentient, bulletproof, shape-changing dress, a sword disguised as a pen and her comics-inspired battle-mechanoid body, quickly gets into large-scale mayhem. This fast-paced techno-fantasy will delight fans of manga-influenced action and violence.
Customer Reviews
Quantum Gravity series - Chasing the Dragon
Another superb book in the series. I love the characters, the imagined scenery and relationships drawn.
Well done Justina for creating something truly new from something old and familiar. How could we not fall in love with such a character as Lila Black?
I will be buying the next book as soon as I finish writing this.
Let us hope Lila Black stays sexy.
