About the Author
C. J. Cherryh three-time winner of the coveted Hugo Award is one of today's best-selling and most critically acclaimed writers of science fiction and fantasy. The author of more than fifty novels, she makes her home in Spokane, Washington.
From Kirkus Reviews
Direct sequel to Heavy Time (1991) and part of Cherryh's medium-future Company Wars spacefaring saga (Cyteen, etc.) about a thoroughly disunited Solar System facing invasion by genetically engineered superman. Now serving with the United Defense Command fleet, ex-Belter and former space-miner Ben Pollard is poised to grab the Earth- based job he has long coveted--when abruptly he is reassigned to the remote space station Sol Two. Seems that a former shipmate, the apparently jinxed Paul Dekker, has gone more or less insane after an ``accident'' and has named Ben as next of kin! Protesting, Ben interviews Dekker, and realizes that some sort of coverup is going on. Dekker was working on a top-secret military project rife with rivalries and backbiting. Ben, accepting his situation, investigates; helped by tough Belter ex-miners and former shipmates Sal and Meg, he exposes a furious tangle of politicking and power- struggling among Earth's top military brass, powerful family- connected politicians, and the ubiquitous Earth Company. Characters well up to par, and the backdrop as solid as ever- -but the plot, slow to develop and desperately short of propellant, quickly subsides into flabby confusion. A disappointment after sparkling work last time out. -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Hardback: 8¾" x 5½". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1st Edition. © 1992: 2nd in the 'Company Wars' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: Training on the Hellburners wasn't easy. These new ships were powerful, fast, and unstable, so most of the training took place in simulators - but even then there were problems. And Dekker became a problem. He'd been found, nearly dead in a simulator: and they needed to know what had gone wrong. Because the Hellburners weren't just any ship, they were expensive - $4 billion worth of the latest interactive technology; 90% fuel, engines and weapons - and they were Earth's new, secret defense against the enemies that were building up, out there in deep space. Dekker had come in from the cold of deep space, so who better to talk him into some kind or reality again than his old comrade, Pollard. But Pollard was none to happy about this; he'd been doing fine in his quiet way and had almost managed to get himself transferred down to Earth for the first time. And when he found out what a mess Dekker was in - and that he had to sort it all out - Pollard was even less pleased. But that was just the start, because Earth's enemies were all around them - and no one wanted the Hellburner pilots dying in the simulators when they could be out there flying the ships for real. Its down to Pollard and his team to find out why the tests are killing the pilots - and how to get clear of their new-found enemies:- Review(s): ""'Hellburner' tastes of metal, flesh, speed, intolerable complexities matched by fast minds; it really is the taste of the future" - John Clute / "Cherryh's Merchanters universe is quite simply one of the best yet produced by SF" - Fear / "One of the finest writers SF has to offer" - SF Chronicle:- (original cost £14.99).
