The inhabitants (human and animal alike) of the pleasure planet Artemis were sculpted and designed to serve as entertainment to wealthy tourists, but the visitors stopped coming centuries ago. Archaeologist Griffin Dane has rediscovered the planet, although his arrival was more of a crash landing than a diplomatic mission. The hunter Adara discovers Griffin at the site of the wreck and along with her companion animal Sand Shadow attempts to help him find some of the answers to his questions about Artemis and its mysterious creators.
VERDICT Linskold's ("Firekeeper" books) new series launch offers an interesting look at a planet littered with advanced technology that was designed to appear to be a primitive paradise and that actually becomes one after the disappearance of the planet's designers. Rediscovered civilizations is a great trope and Griffin an appealing fish out of water, but Adara and her psychically linked puma really steal the show.
