      Hugo Award winner Elizabeth Bear has been called one of the best science fiction authors of her generation. In Dust she skillfully spins a classic science fiction trope-the lost generation ship-into a complex and compelling tale of fallen angels, secretive family politics, and sexual taboo. "Extraordinary ... [a] brilliantly detailed, tightly plotted, roller-coaster ... replete with a fantastic cast of characters." -Booklist, starred review
