Fallen is a mythic space opera by SF legend Melissa Scott, sibling to her highly acclaimed Finders. Set in a fully imagined universe with vividly delineated protagonists, the novel is a cinematic, seamless fusion of adventure, myth, and science so advanced as to have become magic—a bold, original re-imagining of the tales of the Atreides, Daedalus, Prometheus, Pandora, and the Titans.
Nic en Doroney was promised an education and an academic career in exchange for sharing the nanite burden she carries in her bloodstream. Instead, the Novilis family broke that bargain, and now Nic is captain of a small starship, competing with larger businesses by using illegal Ancestral technology to chart her way through the adjacent possible. But when Rejane Novilis re-enters her life, Nic is unable to resist the chance to work with her again, even if it means challenging the malevolent AI who have already destroyed human society once before.
