"The Erasmus System is a sprawling realm of slavery, smugglers, spies--and constant, creeping decrepitude. But the Guardians, a special-forces branch inside the United World Government for Earth, have deemed Erasmus a "hot spot". Somehow, it is believed, this failing colony intends to launch a war upon the solar system."--p.[4] of cover.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

5 stars submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on July 14, 2014, 9:48am _Bitter Angels_ is the first book by Sarah Zettel published under the pseudomym C.L. Anderson. I've enjoyed her books, but feel that this one is a step above the others. While her writing has always been a pleasure to read, this book took the _story_ up several levels. This story was mature in ways that the others didn't reach.

A book gets five stars for me when (a) I have a hard time putting it down and neglect children and sleep to read it *and* (b) I finish the last page I really want to go back to page one and start again. This book did both.
