Palace is a novel of the Pinch which is the area that has
been “pinched” off of the rest of the galaxy.
Interstellar gates that use to lead to the rest of the galaxy no longer work
and haven’t for a millennium. The technology
of the Pinch is sophisticated but not as sophisticated as before. Due to war, the AI s that controlled most
everything were damaged and much technology has been lost. The ensuing years have left a society that
is stratified and stagnant. A cull
from the pleasure sector suddenly finds her life changed.
Vida, the cull, is thrust into political intrigue and
violence. A mysterious “Riva” seems
intent on causing her harm. Vida
appears to have innate abilities to relate to artificial intelligence that are
merely touched on in this book.
The authors do good characterizations with plenty of
action. I enjoyed the book.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
