Aurora in Four Voices
by Catherine Asaro
Aurora in Four Voices brings to life the worlds of Catherine Asaro.
A convicted murderer trying to escape the misery of his captivity in a city based on mathematics finds the thing he least expected—compassion.
Two orphans, cousins, share their grief over the death of one of their mothers in the remote New Mexico desert where the legends and traditions of their culture may have more power than science should allow.
A surprising inter-dimensional romance in which knowledge in more ways than one, provides the key to a feudal world's future.
A test pilot pushes himself, his vehicle, and his computer beyond the limits of physical space in an attempt to regain that which he has lost.
An escaped scion of a royal family leads a private eye through a maze of dangers, between the criminal underclass which would as soon see her dead, and the highest levels of society who she can't afford to offend.
And, as a bonus, an essay explaining how Asaro uses math to craft her alien worlds.
