Summary

Boss, a loner, loved to dive derelict spacecraft adrift in the blackness of space.... But one day, she found a ship that would change everything - an ancient Dignity Vessel - and aboard the ship, the mysterious and dangerous Stealth Tech. Now, years after discovering that first ship, Boss has put together a large company that finds Dignity Vessels and "loose" stealth technology.

Following a hunch, Boss and her team come to investigate the city of Vaycehn, where 14 archeologists have died exploring the endless caves below the city. Mysterious "death holes" explode into the city itself for no apparent reason, and Boss believes stealth tech is involved. As Boss searches for the answer to the mystery of the death holes, she will uncover the answer to her Dignity Vessel quest as well - and one more thing, something so important that it will change her life and the universe forever.

Critic reviews

"City of Ruins is a solid mystery (with a dash of adventure) whose ending teases even greater things in the next novel, Boneyards. Sign me up." (SF Signal)

Loved it

Wonderful story by KK Rusch. I've read most of her Retrieval Artist books and really enjoyed them. This has a new set of characters, and is told from two different points of view almost on a chapter-by-chapter basis. Really intriguing to watch the two groups of people come closer and closer, and finally meet. I was completely engrossed, and can't wait for the next one in the series - there will be another one won't there?!!
