5.0 out of 5 stars Mary Rosenblum is my nominee for best sf writer!
The other review for this book states a couple of facts regarding the plot of this book that are correct. But the feel...I have never been more immersed in a book, I read it and look up and I have completely forgotten my own life for the moment. Antartica, the internet, the slums of the future, all so beautifully painted. And this was written in the early 90's, yet it...

3.0 out of 5 stars Dystopian cyber-punk
Jewel Martina is the lead character of this novel about a dystopian future where the suburbs are in decay and the very rich live in Antarctica. The primary male character has a male lover.

4.0 out of 5 stars #scifi @bantamspectra A fondly remembered favorite, September 11, 2009
This review is from: Chimera (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the very first book I ever reviewed on the Internet -- it was given to me by Ellen Key Harris of Del Rey books, who was a huge Internet pioneer for Random House. Mary Rosenblum has gone on to a successful career -- she's gifted both with a solid science background and with the ability to create empathetic, tough-minded, appealing characters. Well worth buying if you're a Rosenblum fan!

Antartica, the internet, the slums of the future, all so beautifully painted. And this was written in the early 90's, yet it feels very fresh. I cannot recommend this highly enough to lovers of good science fiction! And if you do enjoy it, her other stuff, particularly HORIZONS, is also stellar (so to speak!).
