(More customer reviews)Although I'm on a bit of a budget, I thought I'd try buying something from WolfSinger Publications since I'd appeared previously in their magazine The Lorelei Signal. I'm glad I bought this book--it's an interesting sort of story I don't think you could find from many larger publishers.
While the blurbs on the inside cover and the WolfSinger website both describe this story as placed in an alternate Roaring Twenties, I didn't feel a strong sense of the era. Rather, I was more impressed with a seamless blending of the science fictional elements (and some that are so scientifically unlikely that I would mark them fantasy, like storms in a bottle and souls or "essences" that take shelter in a host's body; though I'm also a fantasy fan so this is no trouble for me) with a compelling mystery: the murder of the only alien ambassador in the universe who seems to like humanity at all. An amazing amount of twists and peril are crammed into the 99 pages of this book, though a somewhat loose ending leaves open the possibility of a series.
