Vashti stands at the threshold of humanity's greatest hope, and she alone understands the darkness of guarding paradise.Īrchangel is an emotionally complex debut science fiction novel written in tough yet lyrical prose. Haunted by the violent death of her husband, the heroic and celebrated Lasse Undset, Vashti must protect herself, her daughter, and all of Ubastis in order to draw alliances with old enemies, re-evaluate old friends, and take planet-wide action against those who threaten her world. For xenobiologist Vashti Loren, this means bringing Offworlders on safari to hunt the specimens she and her fellow biologists so desperately need to study. To acquire the tools and supplies they truly need, the colonists are relegated to selling whatever they can to outside investors.
The Ubasti colonists barely get by on their own. But such an influx of people threatens the planet's unstudied ecosystem - before these settlers arrive, a tenuous research colony must complete its essential and desperate analysis, lest humanity abandon one planet only to die on another. Our hopes are pinned on Ubastis, an untamed paradise at the edge of colonized space. Earth is dying, and we have begun the search for a new home.
