Pyr -- science fiction and fantasy, an imprint of Prometheus Books
"Diving into the Wreck is a flawless adventure, being both extremely exciting in plot and populated with interesting characters...Like the protagonist, the novel is no-nonsense, eventful, occasionally mysterious narrative that contains all the best dialogue of a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, the adventure of ...an Indiana Jones movie, and the philosophical and scientific chops of Issac Asimov himself...highly recommended reading for anyone who enjoys space adventure stories, superb characterization, and tight plotting. Rusch is one of the premier writers in the genre today, and her facility with writing is something all others should aspire to."Read More
