"Marghe: Xenobiologist and linguist, must return to the Company she fears if she is to use her skills for the last time to solve the biological puzzle of the planet Jeep -- a mystery with deadly and far-reaching implications.

"Danner: Security Commander of Jeep, thrust into position by the virus that pervades the planet -- the same virus that may imprison her on Jeep forever.

"Jeep: Out of the diversity of its people and culture comes a mad Messiah, sweeping down from the icy north in a storm of violence that threatens to overwhelm Marghe, Danner and the peoples of Jeep." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1993]

"A wonderful science fiction novel, with a host of weird and outlandish developments that are nonetheless convincing and compelling -- Nicola Griffith really puts you in the action, and you quickly find yourself believing it all, living it all." --Tim Powers.

"Ammonite is a marvellous blend of high adventure and mind-boggling social speculation -- it marks the arrival of Nicola Griffith as a new star for the 90s." --Kim Stanley Robinson.
