About this book
In a complex series of novels, novellas and short stories, including Ascendant Sun, The Quantum Rose, Skyfall and The Final Key, Catherine Asaro has traced the ongoing conflict between the interstellar Skolian Empire and their rival Eubian Concord. The works cover an incredibly long timespan and several generations of characters, and though there is an internal chronology to the novels they can mostly be read as stand-alone works.The books combine political and dynastic intrigues, detailed scientific and mathematical ideas (the plot of The Quantum Rose is generated by a particular application of quantum physics), romantic subplots, cyberpunk elements and lots more. It’s a heady mix that has made Asaro one of the current stars of space opera.Why it’s on the listThe Quantum Rose won a Nebula Award, which recognises the fact that Asaro has become one of the most popular and most skilled of space opera writers.
