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. (Read more)

Review by: Bumblefish on April 11, 2012 : star star star star star
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.
