Product Description

In the mid-twenty-first century, the world as we know it no longer exists. The United World Government--with its endless rules and regulations--holds an iron fist over the planet's diminished natural resources. But some things never change. Like greed. Corruption. And murder.

The wife of a powerful district councilman is dead, and Marshal Ty Merrick finds herself in the middle of a deadly investigation. Solving this murder means threatening the very structure of government in her district. And, as Ty knows all too well, there are certain individuals who will never let that happen.

Meanwhile, the District Health Office knows all about Ty's lycanthropic condition--except what it is. Demon or disease? Curse or psychosis? No one knows. And in this rigidly controlled environment, the unknown is unacceptable.

Now Ty faces triple jeopardy. As she is closing in on the killer, the government is closing in on her. And night by night, the moon grows larger...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourites, January 29, 2003

By	Diocletian2001 "diocletian2001" (Edmonton, Alberta) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Quantum Moon (Paperback)

Ty Merrick is one of my favourite science fiction characters, and Quantum Moon is one of my favourite science fiction books. The setting is excellently done, with an admirable blend of the familiar and the exotic. The heroine, Ty Merrick, is tough, admirable, and believable. Vitola shows a keen understanding of superstition and mythology. I highly recommend this novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great blend of Sci Fi & Mystery, April 5, 2000

By	Timothy Capehart "Review-a-holic" (Dayton, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Quantum Moon (Paperback)

Ty Merrrick might not be a werewolf in the traditional sense, but she's one great cop...er district marshall. She and her partner have to navigate a near (and very believable) future where "Humanitarian Ideals" rule everyone's lives and most civilians structure their reality around invisible magics. The mystery is nicely paced as one interview leads to another until the climax. This will leave you wanting more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who knew a dystopian one world humanitarian government series could be so good?, November 17, 2008

By	Beth Ann Murray "The Ramp Rat" (New England, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I fell in love with this series back in the late 1990s because of its interesting premise and read the entire series at least once a year. They are on my `keeper' shelf. I just bought the kindle editions of the two available so they can travel with me. I can't wait for the rest of the series to be `kindle-ized'.

Quantum Moon has two powerful strengths: the characters and the world building.

Within a few pages, I knew that I liked the characters. They were humans living in a harsh society. Ty Merrick, the main character is an interesting and complex woman, but she is not perfect. She is credible, likeable and down to earth. Denise Vitola has created a marvelous protagonist. In addition, the secondary characters are wonderful. They are well developed and add to the storyline.

The world building in this futuristic science fiction is incredible (and yet credible with the possibility it could happen). The dystopian future with its one-world humanitarian government is described in detail showing the day-to-day hardships the characters must face to survive.

I have only one thing to say - buy this book (and its sequels)! You will love them, and I'm sure they will stay on your `keeper' shelf as they have on mine.
