Synopsis
When confiscated genestock is stolen out of secure government quarantine, DI Sharon Varsi finds herself on the biggest case of her career... chasing down a clever thief, a mysterious hacker, and the threat of new, black market gemtech.
Zavcka Klist, ruthless industrial enforcer, has reinvented herself. Now the head of Bel'Natur, she wants gem celebrity Aryel Morningstar's blessing for the company's revival of infotech – the science that spawned the Syndrome, nearly destroyed mankind, and led to the creation of the gems. With illness in her own family that only a gemtech can cure, Aryel's in no position to refuse.
As the infotech programme inches towards a breakthrough, Sharon’s investigations lead ever closer to the dark heart of Bel'Natur, the secrets of Aryel Morningstar's past... and what Zavcka Klist is really after.

Review
"Like all the best science fiction, the ®Evolution series uses its speculative construct to examine aspects of modern life, in this case tolerance and the benefits of multiculturalism."―GeekDad
"Stephanie Saulter has created an intriguing setting in a series that is loaded with promise."―British Science Fiction Association
"A fascinating and compelling read . . . It comes highly recommended and we can only hope that the rest of the series to come is just as gripping."―Starburst
"Some books are good, some books are even great. This one is important. 4.5 out of 5."―SF Signal
"Binary presents an entertaining and compelling story, with a tight and energetic climax . . . Stephanie Saulter is definitely an interesting writer, and one whose work I intend to keep seeking out."―Strange Horizons
"A brilliantly plotted, vividly told tale that encompasses the breath of humanity's triumphs and its failures."―Spec on Spec Fic
"It was almost impossible to put this book down . . . truly believable science fiction and I almost feel smarter from having read it. I can hardly wait to find out what happens next."―The Qwillery
"Delves into human psychology to show how various people react to new and challenging circumstances. There's the heartbreak of the couple who can't conceive, the norm who married a gem and faces ridicule from co-workers, adulation from music fans, revulsion from those who want a return to the way things were, and more . . . honest . . . a fantastic follow-up to Gemsigns and I can't wait to read the last book in the series."―Sci-Fi Fan Letter
"Tackles social issues in a brilliant and subtle way . . . There's something to be said about the realistic way that the social model of disability is presented here . . . Saulter does something very praise-worthy with all this; she puts it as a thread running through the whole story but only sometimes does it become blatant and unmistakable. You get the idea into your head in such a subtle way that you don't even realise that your understanding is slowly shifting in a new direction . . . I could go on at length and praise this novel over and over again, I really could . . . social sci-fi just doesn't get any better than this!"―Bibliotropic
