The Measure of the Universe por Ellen Larson
This is a neat story. It's intriguing, thoughtful and beautifully written. What struck me most is the author's reverence for all things language: writing, words, communication and perception. It expands on these concepts in a fascinating way, through the interaction -- and romance -- between a human woman and a highly advanced alien. Awesome. It made me think about things.

In Retrospect por Ellen Larson
Some books are easy to pigeonhole. Others are a challenge. IN RETROSPECT is like CSI in the Star Wars bar, not that the characters are different species, but any mystery taking place in the year 3324 has words and events, like time travel, that take a bit of adjusting. Once you get into the rhythm of the 34th century and peel back the folds of reality, you find yourself in a locked room whodunit that is both enjoyable and fascinating. The Oku have lost the fight against the Rasakans. It is believed General Zane might have been a traitor and now someone has killed him. To try to heal the divide between the Oku and Rasakans, Merit Rai is asked to help solve the general’s murder. This requires that Merit travel back in time to discover the identity of the killer. She is reluctant to help the Rasakans, but to keep her family safe she has no choice. There is a little something for everyone: romance, betrayal, distrust, high-tech, and a “didn’t see it coming” finale. If you haven’t sampled this author before, try THE MEASURE OF THE UNIVERSE for a “measure” of her talents.

In Retrospect por Ellen Larson
Esta reseña fue escrita por el author.
Former elite operative Merit Rafi suffered during her imprisonment at the end of a devastating war, but the ultimate torment is being forced to investigate a murder she would gladly have committed herself.

The year is 3324. In the region once known as Turkey, the Rasakans have attacked the technologically superior Oku. The war is a stalemate until the Oku commander, General Zane, abruptly surrenders. Merit, a staunch member of the Oku resistance, fights on, but she and her comrades are soon captured. An uneasy peace ensues, but the Rasakans work secretly to gain control of the prized Oku time-travel technology. When Zane is murdered, the Rasakans exert their control over Merit, the last person on Earth capable of Forensic Retrospection.

Merit, though reinstated to her old job by the despised Rasakans, knows she is only a puppet. If she refuses to travel back in time to identify Zane’s killer, her family and colleagues will pay the price. But giving in to Rasakan coercion means giving them unimaginable power. She has only three days to make this morally wrenching choice; three days to change history.

As the preliminary investigation progresses, Merit uncovers evidence of a wider plot. How did the Rasakans defeat the technologically superior Oku? Why did the Oku surrender prematurely? How did the Rasakans discover her true identity? Merit realizes she will only find the answers by learning who killed the traitor, General Zane.

In Retrospect is a good old-fashioned whodunit set in a compelling post-apocalyptic future.
