Asaro is one of the few SF novelists whose work I truly enjoy–and possibly the only one who wins or is nominated for awards like the Nebula or the Hugo,
Primary Inversion doesn’t disappoint. Even if I don’t understand the tech part of it–don’t worry, there isn’t much.
I highly recommend this book, whether you’re an SF fan or not. Also, there’s a romantic subplot that ends happily, if that helps you decide.

Catherine Asaro is my favourite author. Primary Inversion would probably be my favourite in the series as well.
I’ve never read any of Asaro’s SF novels, but I’ve read (and loved) some of her romantic fantasies pubbed by Luna, like THE CHARMED SPHERE. Definitely pick it up some time.
Kerry, I do tend to adore the first book in a series most.
Kayla, I’ve read the novella she pubbed with Luna. I’ll get to the fantasies eventually. And I’m pretty sure I’ll like them.
