Summary

Hugo Award winner Elizabeth Bear has been called one of the best science fiction authors of her generation. In Dust she skillfully spins a classic science fiction trope - the lost generation ship - into a complex and compelling tale of fallen angels, secretive family politics, and sexual taboo.

Not Sci Fi

Too much fantasy and poorly explained supernatural-like nonsense to be considered sci fi. Fantasy set in space is still fantasy.

disappointing

I could not get into this world or story at all. The biblical underpinnings did not help this listener. Not for me.
