Summary
Set in the universe of Rory Thorne, this new sci-fi mystery follows an unlikely duo that must discover the motive behind an unusual murder.
The templar: When Lieutenant Iari hears screams in the night, she expects to interrupt a robbery or break up a fight. Instead she discovers a murder with an impossible suspect: a riev, one of the battle-mecha decommissioned after the end of the last conflict, repurposed for manual labor. Riev don't kill people. And yet, clearly, one has. Iari sets out to find it.
The spy: Officially, Gaer is an ambassador from the vakari. Unofficially, he's also a spy, sending information back to his government, unfiltered by diplomatic channels. Unlike Iari, Gaer isn't so sure the riev's behavior is just a malfunction, since the riev were created using an unstable mixture of alchemy and arithmancy.
As Gaer and Iari search for the truth, they discover that the murderous riev is just a weapon in the hands of a wielder with wider ambitions than homicide - including releasing horrors not seen since the war and that make a rampaging riev seem insignificant....

Good solid, enjoyable science fiction.
Do you ever get halfway or more in a book and feel a twinge of sadness because you realise that this book you are reading will have to end at some point?
To be fair, it doesn't happen often.
It did for me when reading this one.
Read it, you'll like it or you won't.
I really did.
