Summary

A bold new space opera from Aurealis Awards shortlisted author of The Firebird’s Tale and Cradle and Grave.

The AI is brutal, vicious and efficient and humanity has to fight to survive.

In the far-distant future, the Russian Navy and the UN are locked in an interstellar cold war.  When privateer  Solitaire Yeung discovers a mysterious device in a wrecked Russian cruiser, he learns that the VMF has been secretly experimenting with artificial intelligence, and that the experiment has escaped the VMF’s control.  Yeung, Russian captain Viktor Kulagin, and UN spy Kalina try to keep a dangerous situation from disintegrating further-- but the AI have plans and allies of their own.  

Ion Curtain is a space opera for fans of the Expanse, the Imperial Radch, Old Man’s War and the Vorkosigan Saga.
