Dive into language
4 stars
This book is about language: there is a war going on and there seem to be radio messages that seem to attack certain humans and technology installations. Rydra Wong gets to investigate, and we follow her on a wild ride. Rydra is a poet and a starship captain and she needs to be good at both to untangle this problem.
I liked the alliterations throughout the book. I liked what I learned about language and plots and storytelling.
