The Hugo Award-winning author of numerous best-sellers, Charles Stross crafts tales that push the limits of the genre. In Saturn's Children, Freya is an obsolete android concubine in a society where
humans haven't existed for hundreds of years. A rigid caste system keeps the Aristos, a vindictive group of humanoids, well in control of the lower, slave-chipped classes. So when Freya offends one
particularly nasty Aristo, she's forced to take a dangerous courier job off-planet.

Editorial Reviews
“Good fun… Heinlein
himself would’ve liked this.” —San Diego Union-Tribune
“One of the most
stylishly imaginative robot tales ever penned.” —Booklist
“A masterful update to and satire of the space opera sub-genre, this book is brilliant. The protagonist is wonderful, the intricate plot moves at breakneck speed, and the universe is studded with memorable characters who will stick with the reader long after the story’s done.” —RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)
Charles Stross is the author of the bestselling Merchant Princes series, the Laundry series, and several stand-alone novels, including Glasshouse, Accelerando, and Saturn’s
Children. Born in Leeds, England, in 1964, Stross studied in London and Bradford, earning degrees in pharmacy and computer science. Over the next decade and a half he worked as a pharmacist, a
technical writer, a software engineer, and eventually as a prolific journalist covering the IT industry. His short fiction began attracting wide attention in the late 1990s; his first novel,
Singularity Sky, appeared in 2003. He has subsequently won the Hugo Award twice. He lives with his wife in Edinburgh, Scotland, in a flat that is slightly older than the state of Texas.
