Short description
"Extremes is simultaneously thriller, deftly plotted detective story, and SF complete with a form of Mad Scientist (all the scarier when her ideas make sense). Like the best of those genres, it also features well-drawn characters whose various viewpoints, areas of expertise, moral choices, and personal dilemmas all add to the rich mix."
—Locus Magazine

A Retrieval Artist dies of a virus, yet his colleague, Miles Flint, believes the death is not an accident.
Police detective Noelle DeRicci knows that the death of a young woman in the Moon’s prestigious Extreme Marathon is not an accident. It soon becomes clear that both deaths are connected. Flint and DeRicci find themselves in their own race, one against time and a certain kind of madness that could threaten everything they know and love.
Find out why I09 says Miles Flint is one of the best science fiction detectives ever, why New York Times bestselling writer Orson Scott Card calls the Retrieval Artist series “some of the best science fiction ever written.”
International bestselling writer Kristine Kathryn Rusch has won two Hugo awards, a World Fantasy Award, and three Asimov’s Readers Choice Awards. IO9 called her six (so far) bestselling, award-winning Retrieval Artist novels one of the top ten science fiction detective series ever.

on April 11, 2012 :
During the Moon-Marathon a murder happens. Now it's on Miles Flint to find out who and why.
An incredible story. Exciting and kind of scary.
Also thought-provoking.
