The Retrieval Artist and Other Stories

Rusch writes humanist SF. Her lead characters…exhibit lively intellects spurred on by keen imaginations, and are capable of both compassion and love. Such complex natures can lead to emotional suffering, but also to Rusch’s special version of the “happy ending”—a transcendence of grief, guilt, sometimes even mortality…

The Retrieval Artist Series in General:

Readers of police procedurals as well as fans of SF should enjoy this mystery series.
—Kliatt

Part CSI, part Blade Runner, and part hard-boiled gumshoe, the retrieval artist of the series title, one Miles Flint, would be as at home on a foggy San Francisco street in the 1940s as he is in the domed lunar colony of Armstrong City.
