Summary: Beautiful Maria/Ubu
Comment: This is a great book...one of my favorite sci-fi books of alltime.
First of all, the whole idea of being able to capture and use the power of a singularity on board a ship to travel the stars is fascinating and powerfully described.
The two main occupants of the ship "Runaway" use their own unique powers, Ubu's perfect memory and and his sister Beautiful Maria's ability to shepherd electron flow, to control their ship and navigate the deep. But they have a problem...Ubu and Beautiful Maria are broke and desperate and need to do something soon. Out of such desperation comes risky ideas, conflict, money, screw-ups, drugs, sex, the law, aliens, hope, betrayal, power,and resolution.
This is a great ride, where eveytime you think it's going to turn out, it doesn't, or it does in an unexpected way. Walter Jon Williams has put together a great story that will keep you guessing. Try it out...it's just as good as "Hardwired" and "Voice of the Whirlwind".

Summary: hero's name a play on french theatre character "Ubu Roi"
Comment: Walter Jon Williams shares William Gibson's gift
for creating a believable future--of hustlers, bankers, and whores--who are immediately recognizeable. The technology may change; but
human nature will not (at least not within Williams' timescale). Again, Walter Jon Williams has an ear for realistic dialogue which the has been science fiction authors who split their time writing Star Trek episodes could learn much from.
