Blurb: “A 21st-century thriller from
"one of the most promising new voices in the field"
Publishers Weekly
"A NEARLY PERFECT WORK...An impressive follow-up to McHugh's well-received first book China Mountain Zhang."
—The Washington Post
War veteran David Dai has come to ocean-bottom Caribe to work as bodyguard to Mayla Ling, banker and scion of the undersea city's old-money set.
"PROSE AS CLEAR AND ELEGANTLY FUNCTIONAL AS PLATE GLASS...A
rewarding reading experience:"
—The Baltimore Sun
But as Mayla negotiates the biggest deal of her life, she draws the attention of terrorists who threaten to plunge her, and David, back into the nightmare of his violent past.
"McHugh once again creates an astonishing world, filled with utterly believable characters."
—Kirkus Reviews
Evoking a fully realized 21st century with the astonishing depth and realism that is McHugh's hallmark, Half the Day is Night is a further advance from one of the best new SF writers of this generation.
"MAUREEN MCHUGH HAS LIVED UP TO THE PROMISE of her first superlative book...Moreover, she has done so not by simply recapitulating that opening salvo, but by doing something essentially different.
What emerges is a kind of Graham Greene tropical adventure, a suspenseful narrative of First Worlders trapped in a hostile non-Anglo society. SNAZZY YET SUBTLE." —Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine”
