The Disappeared: A Retrieval Artist Novel

Author: Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Rusch writes about a new world, set in the future, where the humans and alien races try to coexist in a new society. ThereÃ¢s a certain level of tolerance being taught between the beings, including a respect for the laws of the other races when visiting their worlds. ItÃ¢s an awkward balance between the species. However, the penalties can run high, including the loss of life or losing your children, while the laws can be confusing. ThatÃ¢s where Miles Flint comes in. HeÃ¢s a Ã¢retrieval artistÃ¢ (which is where the series gets its name) who brings back these people who have run away rather than face these consequences. Yet heÃ¢s torn by the demands of his police job and his own sense of personal justice. That pull will be the source of the conflict throughout the series.
