Publisher Description
Tricia Sullivan returns to the genre with a page-turning, surreal high-concept science fiction that will define the conversation within the genre for years to come.
Pearl is an angel.
She works for the Resistance - an organization dedicated to improving the world by tiny, incremental acts of kindness. But Pearl also has wings. They blossom at moments of stress. And she is strong; an extraordinary, terrifying strength capable of breaking the fabric of reality. The Resistance can't account for that, nor for Pearl's mysterious origins. All anyone knows is that she appeared in a New York junkyard in the early 21st century.
Truth is, Pearl doesn't really know what she is, let alone who she is.
Now she is on a pell-mell chase across the world. In pursuit of a killer wearing another man's body. The killer carries a briefcase that is a ragged hole in the Universe. A global conspiracy revolves around it. The nature of reality is determined by it. Pearl's got to get the briefcase back - no matter how shocking its contents may turn out to be.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sullivan (Dreaming in Smoke) takes readers on a psychedelic journey through an unknown higher dimension. Pearl's first memory of Earth is waking up in a junkyard in present-day New York, somehow aware that she's from a higher dimension, she's not human, and she looks like what humans call an angel. She also knows she must find a man who stole something important from her that he keeps in a briefcase. When it's opened, other dimensions are accessed, and other creatures can escape. Until she can find him, she works for a mysterious organization called the Resistance, posing as a flight attendant and using her powers to create small acts of kindness by calming human minds. When she encounters the man and briefcase on a flight, their interaction results in a hole being ripped in the plane. The Resistance fires her, and she's left to find the briefcase again on her own. Readers looking for a straightforward story will not find it here; however, those looking to stretch their imaginations will appreciate Sullivan's eclectic and unorthodox tale.
