Description

ORPHANS OF DEEP SPACE . . . 

They’re outlaws now.  Created to serve a function grown obsolete, haunted by the holographic ghost of their father, Ubu and Maria have lived their entire lives skating along the edge of extinction.  Now they and their ship Runaway are in flight both from the law and from a predatory clan of competitors.  They’re going to come back rich, or not at all.

But what they find in the depths of space isn’t wealth, but a secret so startling that Ubu and Maria will need every last reserve of guile, cunning, and intelligence just to survive . . . 

“No one can accuse Williams of failing to grow with each new major work . . .   Straight-forward space adventure with a strong picaresque flavor.  The pacing is brisk, the high-tech details vivid, the rewards to readers considerable.”
---Booklist

“Williams colorfully invokes the life of the trader families and their honkeytonk space stations.  With its emphasis on youth, beauty, sex, and mischief, [ANGEL STATION] also conjures a contemporary mood agreeably distinct from its futuristic settings.”

  --Publishers Weekly

“Williams has it all.”  --Analog

“Williams is a skillfully literate addition to the stylish new generation of science fiction writers.”  
---Chicago Tribune
