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...

One of my favourites,
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.

Great blend of Sci Fi & Mystery,
By
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.

Great characters,
By
This review is from: Quantum Moon (Paperback)
Normally I'm not a big fan of police procedurals, so I'm not even sure why I picked it up at first. But darned if I didn't find myself really getting into the story! I realized that the reason I enjoyed this book so much was because of the characters. Ty Merrick is great, with her condition that is both blessing and curse. Gibson keeps me guessing. Sometimes he seems cold and calculating, and at other times he truly seems to care for Merrick. He's a good foil for her. And even LaRue and Baba are fun to read. I know Denise Vitola has written several other books in the series. I hope she continues.
