A tyrant's rebel daughter embarks on a race across an artificial galaxy in this "ambitious, compulsively readable" space opera trilogy debut (Guardian, UK).
In the vast, artificial galaxy called the Spin, a rebellion has been crushed. Industrialist tyrant Viklun Hass is eliminating all remnants of the opposition—starting with his maverick daughter. But Fleare Hass has had time to plan her next move. And so begins her journey from exile to the very frontiers of a new war.
For hundreds of millions of years, the planets and stars of the Spin have been the only testament to the god-like engineers who created them. Now, beneath the surface of a ruined planet, one of their machines has been found . . . and the Spin will never be the same . . .

      DEBUT Fleare Hass is the only prisoner on an isolated moon at the edge of the artificial galaxy known as the Spin. Incarcerated there since she and her fellow rebels lost their war against the Hegemony, she's broken out by Muz, a onetime fellow soldier and lover, now without a physical body. Meanwhile, in the inner region of the Spin is the Fortunate Protectorate, a society so barbaric that its neighbors prefer to leave its members to practice their schemes on one another. Among the schemers is Alemeche, who wants to leverage his knowledge of the discovery of a powerful artifact in a bid for more control. The artifact, found on one of the planets claimed by the Fortunate, might be a remnant from the creation of the Spin. VERDICT Bannister cleverly brings it all home in this engaging, propulsive space opera debut that veers lightly into cyberpunk, as a simulated intelligence becomes key to the power struggles for the artifact. Fans of Iain M. Banks and Peter F. Hamilton will enjoy.--Megan M. McArdle, Lib. of Congress, National Lib. Svc. for the Blind and Physically Handicapped
