Reviews
"I loved Brenda Cooper's Philip K. Dick Award-nominated novel Edge of Dark , but the follow-up, Spear of Light, is even better. Cooper pits human against post-human and brilliantly reveals the best and worst of her characters. This is a fascinating, well-realized world." --Patrick Swenson, author of The Ultra Thin Man " Spear of Light wraps a gripping thriller around a cosmic mystery and makes you care deeply about the characters caught up in it all." --James L. Cambias, author of Corsair and A Darkling Sea PRAISE FOR EDGE OF DARK : "Fascinating.... Edge of Dark is worth reading for a unique vision of artificial intelligences...and Cooper gives you a lot to think about." ― io9 "Incisive, challenging, and brilliant... it's a story that explores the "what ifs" in beautiful, dazzling fashion." ― Kirkus Reviews "The characters...are sharply drawn, and the plot is full of action and deep insight into the future of human society as it takes to the stars. An entertaining, thoughtful novel." ― Shelf Awareness "Just terrific... Full of profound questions about what it means to be human, a confidence that technological development will continue even as humans themselves long for more nature... thrilling." ― Futurist.com, PRAISE FOR EDGE OF DARK : "Playing God is dangerous: Edge of Dark is an intelligent, thoughtful look at what it might mean to coexist with superior AIs that we ourselves have created. Brenda Cooper's universe is detailed, inventive, and ultimately dazzling. I will remember Chrystal for a very long time." --NANCY KRESS, winner of multiple Hugo and Nebula awards PRAISE FOR PREVIOUS BOOKS IN THE GLITTERING EDGE AND RUBY'S SONG SERIES: " Edge of Dark is bold, immersive, boundary-pushing sci-fi; a new breed of transhuman space opera. It asks all the right questions: What's the line between human and posthuman? How would immensely enhanced creatures treat mere humans? And how would we baseline humans view them--as our successors, our future selves, or our exterminators? Whatever opinion you enter this book with, it'll surprise you. Read it." --Ramez Naam, author of Nexus and Crux "What The Creative Fire does, and does well, is marry the character-driven focus of Cooper's writing with an intriguing protagonist, a well thought out setting and spins a fascinating story." -- SF Signal "I loved The Diamond Deep . Excellent writing, fabulous story, and an emotional punch that leaves you wishing that Cooper wrote faster. Damned fine storytelling." --J. A. Pitts, author of Forged in Fire

Synopsis
When the post-human Next suddenly re-appear in a solar system that banished them, humans are threatened. Their reactions vary from disgust and anger to yearning to live forever like the powerful Next, who are casually building a new city out of starships in the heart of the re-wilded planet Lym. The first families of Lym must deal with being invaded while they grapple with their own inner fears. Ranger Charlie Windar is desperate to save his beloved planet. The Next are building strange cities he never imagined, and other humans who want to destroy the Next are his worst enemies. Ambassador Nona Hall strives to forge links between the powerful station she's from, The Diamond Deep, and the people of Lym. The formidable merchant Gunnar Ellensson appears to be up to no good, and as usual his motivations are suspect. Why is he sending ships to Lym, and what does he intend to do with them when he arrives? The Shining Revolution threatens to undo everything by attacking the Next on Lym, and their desire to eradicate the post-humans is greater than their desire to save humanity's home. It is entirely possible that they will draw the wrath of the Next onto all of humanity. In the meantime, the Next's motives remain inscrutable. Why are they here at all? What do they want? Why are they interested in the ancient past of a planet that has been ravaged and rebuilt at least once?
