Ion Curtain is a nicely assembled MilSF story featuring a ruthless intelligence agency and rogue AIs in control of space battleships. But I’m afraid this year in particular, I’m uncomfortable with a book about the glorious Russian space navy.

Dark and atmospheric, with scenes that linger in the mind long after closing the book. This one definitely exceeded my expectations.

greeniezona | May 12, 2023 | Ow, Anya. Ion Curtain. Solaris, 2022.
Beginning with the pun in the title, Anya Ow has done what she can to give us a comfortably familiar far-future space opera. Russia is still a superpower in international affairs. There is still a UN that seems dominated by the Chinese. There is still a cold war—as one character says, attacking each other’s spaceships is so last generation. There are lots of spies with neat far-future spy toys, and the best generals still like to play chess. We even have a Star Wars reference—a gay scavenger pilot named Solitaire (not Solo) has a spaceship that is faster than it looks. The McGuffin is a true quantum intelligence based on an engineer’s personality. It turns out not to be a good idea to base quantum intelligence on the personalities of admirals. Ow gives us three or four characters we can care about and keeps the plot moving. The political world is big enough to generate some sequels, but none have been announced. 4 stars, if you don’t mind the anachronisms.
