The Republic is looking for the most dangerous individuals it can control. The best of the worst, and Abbey is one of them. Joined by the most ragtag collection of criminals the galaxy has to offer, she sets out to recover the ships and take down the traitors who stole them.

He murders one guy by calling his workplace and telling his boss that the guy is a fraud. So the guy gets fired. And he snaps. And he goes to a club to confront Freddie Frank about that, thinking that Freddie is behind it for some reason, and in the meantime gets himself killed. Not at all. The closest it gets is throwing a couple lines here and there. It ignores the idea so much that the main story is about the pimps, rather than the prostitutes. If the story was about beating prostitutes, instead of killing them, then it could be a crime story set in any era. It simply does not care to expand on the idea it invents, despite that idea having plenty of interesting angles to explore. Phoenix Distribution will use the personal information provided to us for one or more of the following purposes (depending on the circumstances): Perhaps the fact that Michael Berlyn, the author, also designed and programmed games at Infocom could shed some light on that?Lieutenant Abigail Cage never expected to find herself in Hell. There was a time when she was one of the most respected operatives in the military. Now she's doing hard labor on the most miserable planet in the universe.

Crystal Phoenix has a great premise, but then entirely ignores that premise. It introduces the idea that prostitution in the future includes the ability to kill the prostitute - in a mostly legal manner since the cost of admission includes resurrection. Does it do anything with that idea? I guess this review might warrant a content warning, although I also get the feeling that the “sexual violence” angle was played up in the synopsis, which leads us to the question of whom this book was marketed toward. I mean, there are some gross bits, but not nearly as many as I thought there would be. Is that a good thing? I have no idea.

I spent a large part of this morning creating a convoluted analogy where this kind of book is like a piece of candy with a chocolate coating that makes you think it’s going to be all chocolate but then it turns out to have nougat or something inside. I gave up after the analogy got too convoluted and I’ll just leave you with this: where providing access would be unlawful, would pose a threat to the life or health of an individual, may prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity, may prejudice enforcement of laws or denying access is specifically authorised by law. Here we cut to the plot-containing portion of the novel. It turns out that Dennis is really good at his job. There are people who don’t like that fact, namely a pair of procurers named Freddie and Mara Frank. Mara is the brains behind their operation and she devises a scheme that should get Dennis out of the procuring business…for good. Dennis used some futuristic devices to get his revenge, but really they were just guns. The only one of his revenges that used the setting at all was when he killed the guy with his own brain-scanner. I’ll give the book a nod for that.

The climatic anomalies that this diabolical villain creates, destroys cities and makes historical icons collapse in their path, endangering millions of lives and the Earth's ecology. This will lead the rescuers to battle deadly robots and monstrous creatures while saving the planet. The heroes will be the world's only hope in the face of the threats and will have to face the circumstances by creating new technologies, adapting weapons, modifying their rescue suits and making interstellar journeys.

In this first installment, the main characters will travel around the planet helping and assisting the victims of natural disasters, until they encounter an epic villain who, through climate manipulation, intends to carry out his evil plans and thus take over the world. A new evil is rising in the galaxy. One with a power unlike anything anyone has ever seen. One that's been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time.
