It is Book 1 in the Phoenix Horizon series. "[An] intriguing and fast-paced debut...With poignancy and sensitivity, Manney constructs an intricate and adventurous plot...Fans of gosh-wow SF will devour this novel all the way to the startling ending." —Publishers Weekly(ID)ENTITY — Book 2 in the Phoenix Horizon series. Out 10/10/17. “Intricate world-building…This near-future science fiction thriller should have broad appeal.” —Publishers Weekly(CON)SCIENCE — Book 3 in the Phoenix Horizon series. Out 4/27/21. "Manney, even when dealing with numerous fractured/remade personalities... keeps all the plates spinning and makes all her characters distinct individuals. She also manages repeated, virtuosic narrative flourishes along the way; for instance, if you thought Stanley Kubrick’s killing of HAL-9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey was the ultimate in machine-life death, think again... A complex but rewarding conclusion to a high-density cyber-SF tale." —Kirkus Review"Ours" in DECEMBER TALES, ghost story anthology."Only Connect" in VISIONS FOR A WORLD TRANSFORMED, futurist anthology compiled by Philip Bowermaster & Steven Gordon, 2017.Articles for:Writer's DigestPopular MechanicsBoingBoingTor.comSFsignal.comLive ScienceSuvudumybookishways.comYahoo Newsblogs for Mary Robinette Kowal, John Scalzi, Chuck WendigAcademic Articles for:Journal of Evolution and TechnologyTeknokultura: Revista de Cultura Digital y Movimientos Sociales
