Kristine Kathryn Rusch’s novel Diving Into The Wreck spawned a universe so vast that one novel can’t contain it. The Spires of Denon doesn’t involve Boss or her crew. Instead, this powerful short novel follows Miklós Verr, hired to guard an archeological dig near the mysterious Spires of Denon. There Verr encounters the prickly Gabrielle Reese who heads the dig, and he meets some cave divers who aren’t quite what they seem. Verr knows that someone wants to harm the dig, but he isn’t sure if the attack will come from outside the tall mountain range or from the group of archeologists within. Verr must figure out the threat before it destroys him, his crew, and the beautiful Spires of Denon. “... a story of exploration of an artifact on an alien world, a bit reminiscent of the sort of story that Jack McDevitt writes.” —Eyrie.org “...Denon is literally luminescent in its depiction.” —Suite101.com “The Spires makes for a very good read.” —SFRevue “Compellingly human and technically absorbing, the suspense builds to fevered intensity, culminating in an explosive yet plausible conclusion.” —RT Book Reviews Top Pick on Diving into the Wreck “Great character, great plot, great adventure, and most of all great fun.
