Ragamuffin

Set in the same far-future universe as Crystal Rain, Tobias S Buckell's second SF novel provides plenty of close calls for his heroes. The Satraps now seek the all-out destruction of the Raga.

A young Raga woman, Nashara, attempts to evade capture from a determined pursuer. Buckell plays with Caribbean and Aztec cultures, bending their exotic flavour to technology-flavoured ends.
