The thrilling conclusion to the Anniversary Day Saga. "Rusch wraps up the near-future Anniversary Day Saga, set in her Retrieval Artist universe, with this deeply satisfying eighth entry. ... Rusch juggles the ensemble cast and numerous plots skillfully, offering up a cerebral thriller that's part mystery and part action-drama with a ticking countdown. The human element plays well against the tense atmosphere, and frequent scene shifts help provide a sense of momentum and foreboding. While it's almost essential to have read the previous installments, this is a very strong payoff for the series." -Publishers Weekly "The Retrieval Artist universe is rich and exciting, and Rusch's characters are real beings (Human and otherwise) struggling against overwhelming odds. The thrills are nonstop, and the tension keeps increasing with each successive book in the Anniversary Day Saga]. If you're a nail-biter, you might want to wear gloves for these." -Analog "Starbase Human puts all the pieces in place for the big showdown/crisis in Masterminds the final book in the saga]. I highly recommend the Anniversary Day Saga. It's one of the major events in science fiction this year." -Amazing Stories ..".the way Ms. Rusch structured the book was very much along the lines
