Your next favorite book
is waiting.
by Peter Watts
How do you stage a mutiny when you're only awake one day in a million?
How do you conspire when your tiny handful of potential allies changes with each job shift? How do you engage an enemy that never sleeps, that sees through your eyes and hears through your ears, and relentlessly, honestly, only wants what's best for you? Trapped aboard the starship Eriophora, Sunday Ahzmundin is about to discover the components of any successful revolution: conspiracy, code―and unavoidable casualties.
"Watts pits the drive toward success against the need for connection, leading to an ending as open and as expansive as the universe. SF fans will love this tale of bizarre future employment and genuine wonder." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The Freeze-Frame Revolution is a delicious morsel of hard science fiction ... The setup of the book is irresistible, and the science is high-concept, but the story is driven by Sunday's relationships and her conviction in herself and her companions." ―Washington Post
"The latest from Watts (Blindsight, 2006) packs a significant punch into a small package." ―Booklist
"Fast, rich, and cool―The Freeze-Frame Revolution fascinates!" ―Greg Bear, author of Eon and Take Back the Sky
"A savvy, fast-paced, vivid mix of humans way off-planet, pounding biology, robotics, cyberpunk, and even music. That's right, everything you've come to expect and enjoy from Peter Watts, and maybe a little more. This is one of his best―short, unforgettable, highly recommended." ―Paul Levinson, author of The Plot to Save Socrates and The Silk Code
