Product Description
by Richard a. Lovett (Author)
Floyd Ashman has a problem. He's about to crash land on Saturn's moon Titan, with nothing to carry him through but his spacesuit and long-ago experiences hiking in some of Earth's most inhospitable environments-though on Earth he could at least breathe the air and wouldn't instantly freeze if he removed his spacesuit. But he also has a secret weapon: an AI implant named Brittney, capable of thinking millions of times faster than any human. Except, Brittney also has a problem. Emotionally and intellectually, she's as alive as Floyd and wants to be an equal partner in their quest, which will eventually extend from Titan to Neptune and beyond, as they seek not only to survive and coexist, but to respect each other in the stark beauties of the Solar System's last frontier."Richard A. Lovett is one of Analog's most regular contributors (of non-fiction as well as fiction), and one of its best."-Rich Horton, Locus Magazine"The adventures of Floyd and Brittney are the kind of stories that got me into science fiction in the first place. They're full of wonder and excitement and speculation and just plain fun. Plus Floyd and Brittney are two of the most memorable characters in the history of the field."-Jerry Oltion, Nebula award winner, and two-time Hugo nominee"Joining the likes of Batman and Robin, Crusoe and Friday, Felix and Oscar, is a new duo. Add in crisp prose, exotic locales, and rigorously extrapolated science, and I ask: who wouldn't enjoy Floyd and Brittney?"-Edward M. Lerner, Canopus Award-winning author of the InterstellarNet series
