Dust, Elizabeth Bear

Dust by Elizabeth Bear is a book that I picked up at the Labor Day Festival.  The first book in the Jacob's Ladder series.

Review:

This is an odd mixture of medieval and far future science fiction.  A space ship that is no longer mobile, but in orbit around around a binary system houses a community that both exploits the technology with which they are imbued while at the same time degenerating so that they no longer control that technology.  The end felt a little forced, like the author got to a spot and wasn't sure how it was going to resolve.  It was worth the read, however.
